Rewind to a little over a week ago, and we were all ready to pour the footings for the foundation
But due to the water table being so high, the inspector decided the ground was too soft and that we needed to bring out a soil engineer. She recommended that we dig off the soft mud down to the clay and then compact some stone for the footings to rest on. In the meantime the wetness grew a bit worse....
And then this happened...
Now a little over a week later we're ready for try #2 on the footings. The forms were ripped out, the compacted stone laid, and in the process they found a previously unknown seepage pit that was a source for much of the water. So things are looking much better now and we're hoping the inspector gives the ok tomorrow morning....stay tuned.
