Filling in the Foundation
The foundation forms were removed on Monday and Tuesday the Structural FX crew brought in a Bobcat and a mini-excavator to move the dirt around in front. Right on schedule, they filled in the foundation in back, first adding in drains along the bottom over crushed stone, and wrapping the concrete exterior with a plastic membrane.
The demolition folks fom Peninsula Demolition came back Wednesday and removed the remaining debris in back that they could not get when the huge CAT was here a few weeks ago. Brian said this was the first project ever that they were short on dirt. We're going to need more clean fill here as soon as the front foundation is done, hopefully I can locate a bunch for free on Craigslist. I missed one fellow a couple of weeks ago in Walnut Creek who had like 50 dump trucks for free. Surely there will be more like that one.
