• Well it was a bit of a downer last week on the project as we ran in to availability issues with my excavation guy as well as more work than anticipated on getting the pad ready for concrete.  We pushed real hard to get things ready for inspection on Friday with hopes of a pass so that we could pour either Saturday or today.  As luck would have it we failed inspection and with the holiday it pushed us back to a Tuesday inspection.  Not a big deal other than just wanting to keep pushing.  Current schedule has us pouring Wednesday, chalk out and get materials dropped Thursday and start framing Friday/Saturday. 

  Here’s some pics;

  

  Here’s the shot of the rebar.  The rebar/pad actually passed inspection but the inspector didn’t like how in some areas the dirt on the outside of the footings was too shallow.  Not a big deal at all structurally and something easily taken care of by an engineering letter from Dwaine….but alas…it delayed us.

  

  This is my excavators kid.  His wife just started working an afternoon job so she has had to bring both their kids to the jobsite to hang out with Dad.  I end up “tending” them while their Dad works on my job.  Either way, I wasn’t doing a great job of watching and this kids older sister was pouring fine dirt all over him.  He was covered head to toe…looked like the guy from the movie Powder.  Anyhow, the shot on the right is my plumber running his hand through the kid’s hair and the dust coming off of him “pig-pen” style.
