The first major subcontractor is now onsite. They are responsible for all the footing and foundation work. I had to prepare the area, which entailed yet some more additional digging plus I had to layout the addition footprint corners. Finally had to saw cut the existing foundation in two places to tie in the new work. Some shoveling, measuring and remeasuring and finally the rental of a concrete saw and here we are ready for tommorrow's concrete pour for the footings. Oh yeah we also had to get two city inspections. The first was for erosion control. No problem since the soil is so sandy and porous, plus any runoff is going back onto the site and not out to the neighbors. Second was for the footing rebar. Also pretty straight forward. 9AM concrete pour tomorrow. I am in charge of traffic control:-) I need to redirect cars and pedestrians whilst the concrete truck and pumper are here.
