Week One Recap -
Monday
The foundation forms were up and the inspector came out. She noticed that we had added rock to the south eastern corner, and wanted a compaction test.
What? a compaction test?
all work had to stop.
Tuesday
We talked to our excavator, who said that in all his years of doing this, he'd never had anyone question his fill. The county can require a compaction test when you add more than 12" of fill. There is 15" of fill in that corner.
sigh.
Since the forms were up, they couldn't do the normal test (whatever that is) instead they had to dig out a sample, dry it out overnight and magically test it. (I'm sure it's not actual magic...)
Wednesday
We got the verbal results. The fill is fine. We will have the official document at the site on Monday. We should be back on track.
Thursday
Jeff installed our septic system and had it inspected and approved.
Friday
The foundation was poured!!
Josh called Les at Adair to find out if we are going to be charged for the delay. He didn't think so.
Saturday
The forms were removed.
Sunday
We went out and took a look!
I'm standing on our front door!
Plan for Week Two?
Monday the garage fill will be brought out, Tuesday materials will arrive, and Wednesday framing begins!!!!
