Soil test, foundation and footings

This week was the soil test of our lot, which I'm happy to report, passed with flying colors. I've heard nightmare stories about soil test failures costing lots of money and eating up the project timeline, so we're both pretty excited. Also, check out these CNN videos about soil problems. Having a house on our lot for more than 60 years gave us a good feeling about how our test would go but some of these unassuming homeowners get stuck in quite a predicament. Next steps for us is to dig the foundation and pour the footings. We'll get pics up here as soon as we can.
