Dave’s house

I guess this is long overdo.
Based off some other posts and the faces honey do list. I’ll put house build here
Start with the need of a place to put the house
Found a chunk in an agreeable location that me and momma liked
Next a building plan.
Add the finished basement and we have what we need plus some simple wants
Next pick out our details of things for the design of the house
Than we need to start some actual work
Today we dug a hole if you can even call it that
We removed maybe 15 inches of soil

Tomorrow should get footings
If you look at the homes across the street. We are maybe two feet lower in elevation than those.
My excavator wants to bring in 75 yes 75 truck loads of soil to build up my lot so the others are not dumping water onto my property.
So far the deepest hole was to reach my sewer line. Seven feet down which reviled all of my soil colors.
2 feet of rich farm soil, two more of sandy silt stuff, 4 feet of thick clay. Than water. The hole back filled with water as we watched. I should be fine at my house level with a sump pump in the basement
Two weeks for concrete to cure and I should be framing.
As today was my last day at L3 technology I will be starting tomorrow with my new construction company. Running a framing crew

I think a run to Texas would be a good time, as for help on your place. I think you handled it like a pro
