For Better or Worse

Wow. So much rain. We had almost 3" in the past 24 hours and more is on the way today. Our GC, Mike, had stated they were fighting against time before the rain came to pour the step down underpinning and get the foundation waterproofed and back filled. He was able to get that all done before the deluge started. It came down fast and hard. We even had water coming into the rental house basement through cracks in the floor and walls. Not too much though, just had to move the carpet a bit. I am more worried since there is more rain to come and the ground is already saturated. The weekend calls for great weather so hopefully all will dry out. Not much else going on at the house until next week. We are looking at having the steel beams installed and the framing of the new addition started. I have had great conversations with Mike. He will probably get tired of all the questions we pose during this project. We have been discussing different aspects of this project for probably 8 months before we even got started. With Anne doing a lot of research over the years and my curiosity and interestsin the building process, we come up with quite a few items of discussion for him. Mike is great and patient to explain everything we have asked and has raised topics of discussion on what is needed versus what was specified. Will post pics this weekend.
