Plumbers were out today and got the rough-in done, including new drains, a water line to the fridge, and a new gas line for the stove.
The sump pump is working well. Dave was so impressed he offered to buy it off us to use on future jobs. Dave will have inspectors out to have a look on Wednesday. I guess Monday will be spent finishing the footing to get it ready for the inspector. He was a bit worried the inspector may want a specialist to come out and approve the footing. We've got our fingers crossed it doesn't come to that...

Problems with the sump pump last night. It appeared to stop working. Darcy got up to check it about 1am because she hadn't heard it come on. Water was up about 1/2 way on it's side. She tried unplugging it and plugging it back in... nothing. So she removed it and hand bailed the water. She set the alarm for 4am and bailed again. I bailed the hole out at 7am and 10am. I plugged the pump back in at 10 and it seemed to be working so I put it back in the hole. I'll check again in a couple hours and see if it's started doing it's job correctly.
The pump is actually working well. I think Darcy jumped the gun a little and thought it wasn't working because I had put a larger concrete block in the hole to set the pump on after it had tipped over once. That gave the illusion the water level was higher when it really wasn't. We still have to wait and see how the water level will affect the installation of that support post. And possibly the future of our proposed basement remodel.
