Since construction started a couple of weeks ago, I was hoping by now that we would have a slab by now. Unfortunately things haven't gone quite as planned :(
Apparently the retaining wall that was built by the developer is not deep enough. For some reason, the front section of the wall is fine, however the back part of the wall does not run deep enough into the ground, therefore Metricon have to build an adjacent retaining wall next to it. This of course means more money on our part, and more delays in the build process. Metricon are currently costing up the retaining wall so I'm not sure how much damage we're up for yet.
I did notice that they have already completed the back retaining wall that was necessary due to my wish to put a concrete pad at the back of the house, and that's as much as the site has progressed since my last post.
To top off the day, my car also got rear ended by someone on my way to the site :I Ugh what a day!
