Okay, I realize that this may sound silly, but here goes. We're finally having contractors come do work on our basement; we were approved for a grant, to fix our water issues. If you all remember, we got about a foot of water last September in that basement, when we had three days of continuous rain!
What the contractors are doing is the work from the inside; they broke up the concrete, around the perimeter of the entire basement, place corrugated pipe or tubing al along that broken up space, filled in where the concrete was with stone, and put in a sump pump,, towards the front of our basement. On Monday, they're getting ready to pour the concrete. So, here is the magic question. Since we're both blind, how do we really know that they put the corrugated tubing, under all that stone? We don't know that they did for certain; this was what they told us the plan would be! So, if we have someone come over today, what do we look for? We don't want them pouring the concrete tomorrow, if they didn't do anything, of course. You always hear of contractors ripping people off, so we're trying to ensure that this isn't happening! The agency that gave us the grant is supposed to come and inspect, but it doesn't seem like they're doing this, until all work has been done! Ideas on what we should have someone look for would be great! Thanks. And, I've been working through most of this process, so I couldn't really tell you what was done & wasn't, on particular days! My other half was here, but of course, he only knows what they've told him!
