Excavation

Another long day, good progress on road building and packing

Excavation

The road packer was delivered about 9:00 AM on Friday and we were able to pack entire building site this makes for a very solid base for the foundation..  The elevations are looking pretty good at this point the packed area is the bottom of the footing,  the top of the floor in the great room will be 2' 8" above the packed area.   The garage floor will be 7 ' below the packed area so there is still lots of material to remove.

(Looks like my camera lens picked up a couple of the rain drops from the sun shower!)

Excavation

The excavation started April 18, good progress, removed the trees from the north edge of the lot and removed about 30 percent of the basement excavation material to start building up the access road.  Early next week, BC Hydro will advise the cost of underground v.s. overhead service to the house.  Temporary power is required for the site as soon as possible so we are pushing BC Hydro for prompt service.
