Tuesday, April 3rd

The surveyors came yesterday and planted flags for all the caissons for the house and garage foundations.  Some for the garage were right in the middle of two oak trees.  We met with the contractor this morning and he called the structural engineer to talk over how to change the underpinnings so we wouldn’t destroy the oak trees.  It turns out the drillers are coming in the morning tomorrow.  They are hoping they won’t find too many boulders in the pits they have to dig.
