The crew was in early this morning removing the forms. Once they were removed, the rock slinger returned to start filling up the hole. Our builder expects a couple of days of rock slinging to get up to the needed height.

We had a bit of a surprise when we checked the amount of concrete that went into the footing. The calculated amount was 63 cubic meters but the actual was 85 cubic meters at almost $200 per cubic meter. Our builder says that the concrete could have seeped into the gravel underneath and the centre of the footing may not have been built up enough.

Our geo-tech is looking into why an excessive amount of geo-tech fabric was ordered by one of his guys. Hopefully we will get a solution to this soon.
