Footing for the foundation stem wall has now been dug and lot has been surveyed for house. Next up is forming the footing walls near the pool and garage areas and adding the rebar for inspection. Goal is to have footing walls and rebar in by early to mid-next week with a call for inspection by the end of the week. If all goes well (does it ever?) then it may be possible to pour by end of week or first of the following week. Once poured the new stem wall can be built which is also scheduled for the week of the pour.

Backfilling and Creating Upper-level Pad
The last two weeks have been spent finishing walls and bringing in truckloads (and truckloads and truckloads) of dirt for filling the pool area and for house foundation pad. This had to take place before the font of house foundation footing could be dug and font stem wall built. Still waiting on final survey before the front wall (over 120 feet of wall) can be built. Materials for front wall footing are on site. New dirt had to be trucked in for foundation as existing dirt did not pass compaction testing. Existing dirt was used as fill dirt for backfilling walls.
