Today will be a short posting. We begun our driveway efforts today with the excavation of brush and a couple more trees and the addition of a ton of fill. We found that to allow the driveway to drain correctly and not cause issues in the future we went with a wider path. We also chose to widen the path for this site due to the fact that our modular product will be arriving in 15' sections. This width is limiting in some sense. Either way, we will be replanting as many or more trees as the ones we removed for a sense of coziness and also to help hold the grade we have sloped.
Today we had one correction we had to make to the building design - No basement walk out door. With hours of deliberation on our minds and factoring in the cost to place an exterior walk out door at the basement level we found that the sloping lot causes many problems. We would need to excavate in towards the basement to provide a door, and this would be an extremely obvious grade issue with having the finish floor starting not much higher than the grade of the to-be basement walk out door. We decided to make emphasis on the walkout stairs on the back porch and go away with a basement-egress.
The Next blog post will be an update on the installation of the septic tank and septic field as well as the excavation of the hole to which the foundation will be poured and placed and back filled.
