Build 2 Rent - Duplex Day 2-ish...
So.... We have this little issue... not to worry, because we have solutions!

So we started to do the dirt work for the fill-dirt and the pad.
The process is relatively simple:
- Where the concrete slab will sit... at it's highest point, it needs to be 12 inches above the crown of the road in front.
- The "footings" for the slab, which is simply just the "trenches" that go around the perimeter of the slab (and other areas to) but that's all according the the plans (trust me, your foundation guy will know exactly what to do)... those "footings" need to be around 26-inches deep.
- We had to pump the water out to DRY OUT the area faster with a hand pump... no biggie.
It's been drying up well over the course of the last couple days here in Texas.
We DO NOT want to put that good Fill Dir in while this sucker has water in it... waste a few days letting it dry... Fill dirt is now scheduled for tomorrow!
Let's go!
B2R,
