Yesterday afternoon Neal (Castle Timber Homes) sent me an email after he had made his weekly inspection. He was concerned that a pad footing was not located correctly in the garage, but the biggy was that one of the footings for the prow appeared to be ~1 foot off the plan specs.
Neal had called Pat Thomas about the variance, which was great, but the Inspector was on the way up and the walls were scheduled to be poured today at 1:30. Neal didn't seem worried, but I was and by the time we got home I had a pretty good stress headache going. If the foundation wasn't right....well IT IS the foundation of the house. It seemed as if an issue that one of our neighbors experienced, and we had said we specifically we would keep an eye on, could
hit us too.
We had measured the OVERALL dimensions on Sunday and they were correct. BUT we had not measured every dimension against the plan. The architect Le Corbusier supposedly said "God is in the details"(glass half full), and is that ever true.
Pat (Tomas Construction) called this afternoon, to say all was well, they found the issue and corrected it before the wall pour. He reported that everything looked good and we should have a good pour this afternoon. Pat and his crew will be removing the forms on Saturday, then their work will be done.

Not at all. You gotta take the bad with the good.
