Site Work Continues

As previously reported several areas of unsuitable soil were uncovered at the building site. The existence of this problem was first revealed by the core samples done at the request of our builder. Unsuitable soil is soil that is not capable of supporting the weight of the building. It turns out that a previously unknown and abandoned septic system under the parking lot was filled with rain water and keeping the soil saturated. This soil is being excavated, replaced with good soil, and compacted. This additional effort does not appear to affect the scheduled completion date of mid-August.
