It has been quiet next door since they poured the footers - until yesterday afternoon!
I had the pleasure of meeting Tim Wright and Rav (didn't catch his last name) today at the Park Place site next door.
They are with CSRA Testing And Engineering Co., out of Augusta, Georgia - and can be reached at: 706.733.6960 if you are in need of their services. The reason for their visit to the job site was to test the ground below the footers. To be exact - they were testing the load bearing values below the footers.
In laymens terms - they wanted to be sure that the earth was prepared according to their specs prior to the footers being poured. These are the guys that looked at the core samples that Jimmy took way back when, and determined how deep - how wide - how much crushed stone needed to be compacted below the footers - to support the weight of the building to be constructed. I do believe that theirs is probably the MOST IMPORTANT job of this whole process.
Here is Rav doing his thing:
And don't forget - here is what will be built!!

Perfectly Downtown :) If you are thinking about a 'Southern get-away' ---- this would be ideal! A place to get away to -- a place for family and friends to get-away to.....
