Welcome to Garage Lake

We passed the temporary power inspection this morning (finally), and the interior footings are done.

The excavation guys must not have scheduled a sewer inspection for today, but they did leave a hose running on the garage for what looks like quite some time. When I got home around 7:00, it was overflowing into the sewer trench, which was quickly filling up. With the way the clay here absorbs water, we may need to look into opening a water park instead of a house.

Utilities Connected

Today the excavation guys got sewer and water lines connected and a conduit buried for the power. The water line is buried to the left of the sewer line shown in the picture. They also mostly completed the backfill of the overdig, but can't finish up in front of the garage until the sewer connection passes inspection.

Interior footings are scheduled for tomorrow, as is an inspection on the temporary power pedestal. Hopefully the third time is the charm. I told Jason that they could piggy-back with either the power or footing inspections for the sewer.
