The foundation pad for the home would have been finished last Friday but rain delayed completion until Monday. We had planned on 600 yards of select fill but as it turned out, the site required 920 yards or 46 semi truck load of soil plus 1 truck load of gravel for the entry way to the property. I am positive that the neighbors are glad we are completed since the crawler dozier sounded like a tank on maneuvers.
The next step is to schedule the surveyors to mark where the home and detached garage should be built and to schedule an appointment with the concrete sub-contractor since we will need to modify the contract in place since we had to raise the pad in front higher than we had planned.
Overall, Lone Star Excavating did a good job. Luis and Carlo were very dilegent about their work to insure proper drainage.
We are so very excited for you two. It will be so much fun for us to share your homebuilding journey.
