I don't have any pictures this time . . . but, I wanted to fill you in on the progress we've been making. This past weekend, we used a laser level to determine the site elevation at different points. We will use this to decide how much dirt we need to order, to get the foundation to the right height and the yard graded.
Adam also set the truss designer, structural engineer, and geotechnical engineer (soil testing) loose to start their work. We should have their designs/tests soon and will then submit for permit with the county. This will probably still be another couple weeks.
Yesterday, Adam, Austin (Adam's assistant at work), and I started on the batter boards. I'll try and get a picture of that up soon. They are basically wooden boards that go outside the corners of the house. We will then tie stringline at the correct positions that will correspond to the outside perimeter of the house. We put up about 75% of the boards, but have not run the string yet.
That's about everything. Adam will be at a men's retreat with church this weekend, so I don't know how much work will get done in the upcoming days. As always, I'll try to keep this site up to date and will try and get a picture up soon of our latest feat.
