Soil Testing

May 22nd, 2009

We had equipment working at the expansion site today. Two test holes were dug so that engineers can confirm the ability of the soil to support the new structure. We’ve been told to expect the results of the test by the end of next week.

While we wait we are in the process of having the gas meter moved, moving the storage shed, and hopefully some excavation. Once the test results are back the forms for the footings can be built.

It begins

May 12th, 2009

Today the first, albeit small, step took place on the construction site. There were 3 lifts of lumber dropped off that will be used to construct the forms for the foundation. As of today we are expecting the excavation to begin in one week!
