Exterior Virgin Soil Prepped

These holes are dug in virgin soil. Virgin soil is the soil that has not been disturbed when the builing was contstructed. The soil close to the foundation is termed back fill. Simply put it is the soil put back after the structure is built. This back fill soil is much more reactive to our Colorado weather conditions than the virgin soil. The anchor plates will be set in each of these potholes dug in virgin soil. This will stabilize the foundation wall once threaded steel rods are connected to the anchor plates here in the pot holes and to interior wall anchor plates.
