OK, the footings are poured. They ended up being lower than originally planned, due to the crappy soil we have (lots of organics). So they're on the clay layer for stability. We then measured yesterday to check where the sewer line is, which is pre-existing. Plan 'A' was to have a 2-foot foundation wall, now we a in Plan 'B' with 4' walls to accommodate the crap-line. So much for the budget :-(
Now, Tuesday, the crew is back and forming up the main foundation walls. Definitely progress!
