The builder covered most of the property with plastic in an attempt to prevent a mud pit. The weather is suppose to be drier for the next week. Hopefully this will be a good window to get the gravel in and the footings poured.
You may notice in the right of the picture the fence has been removed. We had the property surveyed and discovered the back fence is on the property line, but the west (right side of picture) fence is off anywhere from 1 to 2 feet. The east fence line is off about the same, all in all the property size stays the same, just shifted a little to the west. The neighbors have been very understanding and agreed to have the fence temporarily removed. The plan is to put the fence back in the same location.
The property lines are important because we have a typical Portland lot, 50ft wide and about 100ft deep. The house is 40ft wide, providing 5ft between the house and the property line. The zoning requires 5ft between the house and property line, hence the foundation needs to be set perfectly on the property.
