Day 5: Laying out foundation stakes

The remainder of the concrete slab subgrade was completed today. It was compacted one last time. The geotech engineer performed a final moisture-density test which we passed.

We positioned the foundation perimeter location on the subgrade and pounded stakes at the 4 corners indicating the outside edge of the footings. Here is a pic showing the SW and SE corner stakes. The NE corner stake is partially hidden by a little pile of dirt in the back corner. The NW corner stake is too far left to be in the pic.

The cut for the utility room was nearly completed, and the cut for the south patio was started. The whole site is starting to look like what I have imagined for a long time.
