Come on... you should know to never bury a you-know-what in gravel fill. You need good soil depth to support the work of the lye to break everything down and not leave any evidence. Gravel will just dry everything out and you’ll end up with a mummy in law visiting forever.

Bunch of f’ing amateurs.

There is some ground that will probably go in first, you know, to top coat everything

You can call it the Mother in law space.

There is that big window above it too   Not exactly in the stairwell, but 

If anyone does have a, um, you know, what Lee mentioned.  There will be a nominal fee, non-refundable, paid in cash, unmarked bills.  And I know nothing about it....

Call it hidden staging.

Per the plan review " Joists on the plan are depicted as 8' with a cantilever of 2'5".  The cantilever is in excess of the allowed UNSUPPORTED cantilever for the 5'8" span of the joist.  The illustrated angle supports at each post WILL ALLOW the illustrated cantilever."  So that tells me that because we have the angle supports in, we are good to go.  Just pointing out that if we didn't have them, it would not have been approved.  Agree ??

Isn't a cantilever unsupported by definition?

Not exactly. An unsupported cantilever is just a beam lying on the ground. Cantilevers must be supported somewhere. The location & type of support is what makes it a cantilever.

Basement entry door installed this evening.  The new layout room is officially closed in



Calling for foundation/block inspection tomorrow, hopefully they'll be out Tuesday and give the approval.  Expecting a few tri-axle loads of fill by the end of the week.  Once backfilling is done, grade beams and steps poured, then the slab before it gets too cold.  Mother Nature, I've been delayed enough this year, you tell Old Man Winter to stay the @#% away until the floor is done !

We usually frame up then pour the floor inside a more or less protected, dried in building...  Easier to keep it warm and dry for curing...  Talk to your flatwork guy about that...

Someone said I should get stoned for turkey day.  I think I misinterpreted what they said.

It's your own asphalt.   

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Quick! Go sift out all the ballast sized fines!

It's your own asphalt.   

That’s funny!!

Huge progress made today.  4 or 5 truckloads of fill material arrived throughout the day and here was were things ended this evening.  Has a little bit of work to do around the back and backfill will be completed.  Interior of foundation needs topped off with clean stone, as well as redress the driveway so we're not in a mud pit all winter long.  But one thing for sure, there isn't a snowballs chance in hell any water is getting near the basement again with the swail he graded in.

[Ed Kapuscinski]

Hell yes!
