Wow, Ty from Home Makeover would be proud of you :eek:

wishing you all the best, at this point it does not look like a fun project....
 
due to permitting regulations i needed to dig up the yard for the house first and then do the garage....because if you disturb more then 25% of your soil you need $15,000 worth of civil engineering done for erosion control........they take the actual amount of what your are excavating and add 10' around that and then add additional space for contractor equipment ......blah blah blah......so after the hole gets backfilled, i will add the garage to the permit. the concrete for the walls was poured on friday......framing should start next week. the additional space is 13'4" from the house and 32' front to back and 8' off of the front of the house.

Not bad Bob. Footings and earth work are always slow. Once they have good access, and the wood butchers show up, it will go alot faster.
