Excavation ended this past Wednesday. Were supposed to start forming the footings this morning in anticipation of an afternoon (concrete) pour. Well... the foundation hole was dug a little too close, too tight. When I got the call, it didn't even phase me. My father-in-law/site superintendent/architect wasn't too surprised either. On the other hand, my husband was pretty frustrated.
The excavator will just come back tomorrow, and we'll try to pour again on Tuesday. I keep thinking, we just have to get out of the ground and we'll be up and running! (Right?) Some friends have commented that things will just get worse as the days go by; that's probably true.
Well, onward and upward... we'll meet with a stair contractor tomorrow morning. See what other cans of worms we can open up!
