If the building was no longer falling down, he was done and on to the next job.<br /><br />We've been living here for a month now, and there's no leak. It's just never been finished. And it's still pretty low on my own list, so we'll just see when it <i>does</i> get finished.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152219034171337111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984534323050077645.post-37743918253594450112009-07-30T11:57:13.284-07:002009-07-30T11:57:13.284-07:00As the owner of such a large hole, it probably was...As the owner of such a large hole, it probably was left there because they weren't too sure it had been fixed (or discovered that it wasn't fixed) and didn't want to dig/jackhammer out the concrete over and over. If you run the washer a few times and there isn't a leak, it's probably safe to fill in.C.

I only wish I knew why, because if I fill it back in and lay concrete, only to discover an intermittent drain problem two years from now, I'm not going to be too happy.<br /><br />A lot of the plaster on the lower walls is pretty much shot (a lesson in the reasons for tuck pointing) and so I knocked a lot off and filled it into the hole. It was about two feet deep, and now it's about a foot. I should get some fill and gravel and at least level it out, but <i>really</i> it just needs a new layer of concrete. Kind of low on the prio list, though.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16152219034171337111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984534323050077645.post-69496847300363222682009-07-27T16:42:53.929-07:002009-07-27T16:42:53.929-07:00And it's not an even hole.
