After deciding that we needed to remove a lot more material than planned, the geo-tech has now decided that the soil is not strong enough and must be re-enforced with a bunch of Geogrid material. The material had to be purchased from a supplier in Abbotsford and rush-shipped up to the work site. (And we thought Amazon shipping was expensive.) Meanwhile, the excavation contractor keeps digging and trucking. Apparently they have moved 100 dump truck loads already and they are not done yet. We have purchased 35 Lock-Blocks to shore up the road – most are already installed. Once they finish digging down, they will then need to start filling the hole with new material. Oh yes, the geo-tech is taking Friday off and not much can get done without his blessing. The builder believes things should go smoother once we get the excavation done. (Let’s hope so, we have had enough surprises.)
