David Facenda and Adam Jenkins from MCC are back at Conn this week to do some work on the foundation. They are cleaning out a gap around the edge of the poured concrete foundation that was probably originally filled with some sort of thermal spacer. The original filling of this gap was probably organic and has almost entirely rotted away. As a replacement, they will fill it with urethane foam. Parts of the edge of the foundation have also chipped away, especially around the back door, and these chipped edges will be replaced with more concrete.

Finally, they have also brought a new stainless steel base angle to replace a similar one that originally sat around the perimeter of the foundation but was too rusted to be reused. They will install the new base this week, and it will then be used to attach the wall panels to the foundation when the house is reconstructed.
