Week 3 Reno - Excavation and Foundations

Another big week of progress on the house. The demo revealed that ground level under the house was roughly 40 cm's higher than expected. This caused a few last minute changes but were sorted by the great team on the job. Once the demo was completed and ground level flattened it started to pour. This created muddy puddles Peppa would have loved (man I must be reading that book to Flynn to much). The place turned into a quagmire. In addition the dirt removal truck got stuck at another job and delayed getting our dirt away. In the mean time the slab foundations went down so we've currently got a bobcat and digger trapped in our back yard. Am sure Master Flynn would be happy to keep it that way. Once the slab is laid and dried they'll be able to get it all out and clean the site up.

Big week coming up. Got the engineer in on Tuesday to do the first of his certifications and the big pour happens on Wednesday. Cannot believe how fast it's going.
