Great Lakes Superior Walls

It's almost time!!! We got the building permit and are just finishing up last second drafts of the site plan and stuff so we can begin excavating and building! Hot dog!

We're sort of excited about the basement. We are seriously considering going with Great Lakes Superior Walls, precast foundation that is finished in a matter of hours! So let me try to explain it; instead of pouring foundation and having to wait a week for it to set, Superior Walls is foundation that comes in blocks of concrete that are ready, and are simply put into place in a matter of hours!

The even better part is that your basement is nearly finished when you use it; just add drywall and carpet and you'd have a finished basement! So if you think you will finish your basement in the n ear future, then the superior walls is a great investment.. We got some quotes and it seems that it would cost us somewhere between $1000-2000 more to use Superior Walls, but we think we are going to go for it! Will let you know if we do, and how we like it!!
