Unfortunately, the post for Monday touting the new roof was saved as a page rather than a post, so it was not sent out to the email subscribers, nor was it shown other than as a menu item at the top of the screen.\u00a0 It has been switched, but whether it will be emailed out at all is unclear.

Yesterday, the contractor had ordered the backhoe and a bobcat to arrive, but unfortunately, he had not confirmed their arrival, so they didn’t come. The workmen spent the day moving materials around to clear the area for the house grading.<\/p>\n

Today the backhoe arrived, but oddly, not the bobcat. The backhoe driver dug out most of the area for the crawlspace under the house. Only the great room will be on slab; the remainder, which includes all the water appliances is over a crawl space.<\/p>\n

The house deck will be on two levels.\u00a0\u00a0There is the main part that is level with the house and then a smaller lowered area under a couple of oak trees. The workers\u00a0 built the forms for the pilasters, which will be pillars to support the lower deck. (Pic 2)<\/p>\n

The backhoe driver filled in the area behind the support wall for the water bag with gravel; unfortunately, it was supposed to have a pipe run through it to bring water off the roof from one side of the house to the other to go into the water bag.\u00a0 They will have to do something to fix that.<\/p>\n

The backhoe was used to clear the area where the lowered deck will go.\u00a0 It had to remove a concrete waterfall and pond and dig out the area. This is right next to the pilasters in picture 2. (pic 5)<\/p>\n
