Construction Activities: Today was spent trying to get the building pad to subgrade. There were to many soft spots, so gravel was brought in and compacted using the sheepsfoot grader.
Does safety seem to be of importance? Yes, everyone was in PPE and no safety issues came up today
Comments/Remarks: The soil bearing kept fail on the job-site. Schnabel recommended digging the footings out and testing the bearing at the lower level. Also a line was hit while excavating today. It ended up being a line that was no longer used, however, it still was enough to shut down construction for over an hour while it was determined what the line was.
