Week of 1/12/15 – What a difference a week makes! Much to my surprise, neither the holidays nor the cold, wet weather slowed our great progress. And what a sight it was at Norwood over the past week with not one but three huge rigs on the Norwood pad at once, drilling new piers to bedrock and filling them immediately with rebar & concrete. The work confirmed that we are spot on in our relocation considerations; we’ve actually encountered the original footings as we’ve drilled the new piers. The house will return to the exact same spot it was originally, back in harmony with the lines of the formal garden – and on a vastly improved foundation.
The new piers are ready for the coming week’s mission, which is formation and pouring of the concrete grade beam. And final arrangements are being made for the tree work to take place later in the month. So far so good in 2015.
