The last few days we've seen a lot of dirt being moved around to prepare for the foundation work. The plan is to finish the digging today and start to build the forms for the back of the house (basement section). The rain over the weekend certainly did not help with the backhoe getting seriously stuck in the mud on Monday. Fortunately it dried out later that day and they have been at it for two days now with a backhoe and Bobcat.
I asked the crew to try to flatten out the lower back section of the yard which they have been doing but I have to say I am a little perplexed on what to do back there. I have yet to get a landscape architect to take a look.
I mentioned in my last blog post the shenanigans at City Hall for approval of the demo of our main house. We're still working through our building plan application and hope to clear that hurdle next week which will allow us to get the demolition permit to tear down the main house.
