The Building Pad... | |
Once the forest was cleared out, we had to cut the "muck" out about a foot deep and bring in soil suitable for compressing into a solid base for the foundation. But before we got to do all that, we got our building permit and port-a-potty. If you are viewing this with your eyes open, you're not seeing things...that is Georgia red clay...152 dump truck loads of it!!! |
|
Putting our building permit in our box. |
|
We had to build a path for the trucks to bring in the dirt. |
|
You missed a spot... |
We have dirt...and it's dry!!! |
Whoa big fella... that's close enough. |
Gotta go...gotta go...gotta go right now... |
Yup...the potty's leaning...and we can prove it!! |
|
Yup...there's water down there... |
Whaddya mean you don't remember where you parked? |
That truck weighs in at over 54,000 pounds... |
|
Would you buy used dirt from someone like this? |
|
Jus' out walking my stick... |
