Things are moving at a good pace. Foundation footings were poured on Monday and foundation walls go in this afternoon. Then we have the back filling and slab and we're ready for framing. The contractor is supposed to have another job starting on the 15th but it's confident it will so he's pushing through with this. A little bittersweet since it was supposed to be his shop.





The surface water has been a challenge. I had a neighbor dig out a relief trench on Friday evening with the thought of doing a french drain. He went a little deep so the outlet may be an issue. However, it helped drain the water from the footing forms. I pumped that ditch a couple of times a day over the weekend to keep the foundation trench clear of standing water as much as possible.





There's 20" of drop from the north (far side) to south walls in just 48 feet
