Work on the primary foundation is mostly complete. Masons are busy today parging foundation and applying a tar coating on the portions of the wall that will be buried. One glitch is that the Township building inspector is requiring a soil compaction test on the mountain of dirt I am standing on. This involves laboratory testing of soil and then compaction of soil, if useable, under the supervision and constant testing of an engineer. This will likely delay the project a few days while all the details of this requirement are coordinated.
We were able to start excavating for the mudroom/side entry foundation. Obviously we would have liked to have done this in conjunction with the main foundation, however, it's location right adjacent to the driveway was a concern so we elected to do this separate, once the primary foundation was complete.
