Burying in the Foundation

On monday I called the PM and said we were surprised to see the foundation was dug and work had commenced - we needed to bury something* in the foundation.

He knew it and said he had made a note of that somewhere but obviously had forgotten and needed to check with the excavation guys as to what the schedule was. He got back to me very quickly and said yes they were starting to catch up. Additional work was scheduled on Tuesday morning and said if we needed to bury something be sure to go to the site after 10 in the morning and speak with the guys on site.

The next day V and D went to the site buried in the site.

Another surprise....

So we waited another week until Sunday of March 6th. We went by that Sunday to show the site to our friends and what did we see.....

The foundation was already dug up, concrete was poured on the eastern end. See picture above.

We were surprised as our PM had told us that he would inform us a day or two in advance of the digging of the footers because we wanted to bury something in the foundation.

Anyway we were happy as not all the footers were poured, we went back thinking we would call the PM the next day and understand what was going on.

Quick update

I called the PM as it has been 2 weeks since our Preconstruction and there has been no activity on our lot.

Our PM sent me a quick email back saying that the excavation guys were running a couple of weeks behind because of all the snow and bad weather we have had in the last weeks. He said the work might be started back in the next week.

Long Silence....

So after the pleasant surprise in February with the initial excavation in progress, followed by the pre-construction meeting, things suddenly slowed down to our surprise.

Everyday, after work I drive up to see if there was any further progress to the construction beyond the excavation. However, there has been no activity.

Let's wait and see what happens.
