Renegade's Home Build vlog #35 - Basement Plywood?

My brother and I made a big push this past weekend to install 1/2 inch treated plywood over the foundation foam board. It has been extremely irritating to have to make a 3 hour round trip after work to turn on the generator to empty the basement sump of water after it rains. Getting the plywood done means being able to fix the grading issues leading to this water build up.

A big plus is that the new pressure treated plywood is brown instead of green and it matches our roof! We plan to leave the plywood as is until we are at least moved into the house. Eventually we will be covering this plywood in stucco/parging, but in the short run we will leave it as is to help save us some money and time. It might weather a little but should be serviceable as is for a year or two.
