Backfill was completed, but required another 5 truckloads of gravel. Looks like a lot of it was used in the front of the garage as well, which was not the optimal situation. Should have been modified there instead, which is significantly cheaper. The excavator left a significant amount of material blocking the swale that had been previously cut, so there’s more cleanup needed here. I’m a bit disappointed at the waste of #2 gravel and the way the material was left behind the house. More than one person had warned me about this particular excavator. Last year when I was looking for excavators, I was given their name, but when I called and left a message they never called me back. That turned out to be a good thing.
The generator was placed under a canvas tarp in the garage, since framing starts tomorrow. My nice pile that I used to climb up on is gone, so I don’t have quite the same vantage point as before.
There was a storm moving in to the west. Looked much more imposing in person. Still trying to figure out how to capture that. I went to shutter optimized and set the shutter speed to 1/4000th.
A good bit of the framing lumber was stacked in front. The schedule says the house will be under roof by the weekend, assuming no major delays. There is 40% or higher chance of scattered storms for the rest of the week, so that could impact the schedule as well.
