Test Holes for House
Today we had Mike from Pineridge come to stake out where the house is going to be. Then we had Jenoah and Bruno from a company called Geo Logic come to do some test holes for the soil. The reason for the test holes were to log soil conditions, check moisture content, check gradation and hydrometer, then hopefully within a week we will get an engineering analysis.
All this so that we can add 18 inches of engineered fill under the house to prevent water in our basement.
Easton thought the excavator was interesting and loved every minute of it. Hadley got cold quickly in the rain and enjoyed it for a little while but 2 hours was a bit long for her to watch people dig test holes.
Once we get the feedback we can send the information to the town for review and they will get back to us in 10 days letting us know if they think the engineered fill plan is acceptable. Then... we move forward.
