status update. after finally getting the permit, the builder has been tied up with the heavy equipment needed to do my pad. right now i am in dirt shock. the engineer is saying i need 410 cubic yards of dirt to build the pad up. since i live in the boonies, that is going to cost me a small fortune. the builder is searching for that much dirt. i also have a friend who is an exec with a huge pool builder and he is seeing if he can find me any dirt from pool digging.

all of that aside, the dirt starts coming monday. he said it will be trucks coming and going for 4-5 days bringing the dirt.

i have to build the pad up about 2 feet due to floodplain requirements.
