So more things are happening.
Went out yesterday and saw this:
This one was near the back corner of the old house. At first, we thought animal damage...
But then this one was on the opposite corner of the house footprint. Wild hogs? Armadillos?
Then we noticed the spirals of dried clay soil, so it looked like an auger. We got an email from the builder and they had sent out the soil sampling people. It was for the foundation design.
This is what they do. They take the footprint that the new house will sit within and take samples on opposite corners. They take this data back and analyze it to help design and engineer a strong foundation that will sit on that site with (hopefully) the least amount of settling in the future.
Then we found out that it's already been designed and is ready to go!
That green 💚 light is quite brilliant! All systems "go!"
ReplyDeleteThat would have confused me, too.
