The Houndstooth development is moving along. The pictures below show the progress of the site work. There was a slight delay due to bad soil at the spot where the building is going to sit. You can see that about 6-8 feet of soil must be removed and replaced with a sandy clay soil. This new layer of soil will be under the building foot print. The new soil will be put in one foot at a time. The soil will then be compacted and tested for proper compaction. This should all be completed by the beginning of next week. K&A is saying that this is about a two week delay. Hopefully, this delay can be made up somewhere else along the way.

As you can see in second picture below, the building permit has been secured. The health department signed off on the plans without any issues. The site meeting today included the mechanical & plumbing engineer, Evans Fitts, Al Cabanis, Doug Nelson, Doug's contractor(Peter), and Jon. We reviewed different issues that need to be coordinated between all the involved parties. Many of the details of construction need to be worked out during the construction process. The plans are modified and added to as the construction progresses.
