Oct 24: Excavation completed. Cut back into the hill where the back of the house will be located. Had to move the house South to preserve three large post oak trees and make sure we do not cross building set-back. Ground was generally river rock soil and clay. Since the footings must be on native soil we will have to have high footings on the South side to make everything level. In layout we discovered we will have an ideal place for the RV, with full hookups, which is a real plus since we thought we would have to put it in a much more obtrusive and expensive location.
