8-19 Tuesday. Cloudy—rain held off but was threatening. EXCAVATION. Met Todd @ 8 AM and Wayne @ 9AM to go over excavation plans. Might bury some of the `wetland' trees we cut down. Late start: backhoe and Trax 953. Wayne and Danny. `WETLANDS' CULVERT. Wayne and I discussed a possible need for an 18-inch culvert 50 feet in length to eliminate water standing on `our land'. CONCRETE. Bob Speed spent one hour on site with Jeff and Wayne placing benchmarks and discussing elevations, knee walls, etc. Footings maybe Monday/walls Thursday. TREE CLEARING. Todd spent day on elms and willows in `wetlands'. Ingram buried half the rain forest debris along the boulevard. MANHOLE. Must be raised, per Bruce. Sanitary manhole cannot be below water's elevation(is not currently, but water stains show overflow into the sanitary has occurred in the past). He stopped by and went along with the right of way filling. Bruce acknowledged an 18-inch culvert was a good size for future cleaning and drainage of large amounts of water—if a culvert was utilized. This is where all the water goes—it comes from the southerly neighbor's property, and `our water' from our front yard joins it and goes northerly along the street or across the street when the low areas fill up. We cannot cut off the neighbor's water from the Southerly property. Dennis said the northerly neighbor purchased 30 feet off of their lot in years past, and this was the reason for the culvert deviating back across the Vaillant lot from the low spot near the 30 foot strip—will be a collection spot in future years for runoff. It appears that thre pipe has been clogged for years. SURVEY - Randy stopped by @ 1:30 AND MET WITH Wayne alone. —City needs `as- built' topo before occupancy cert to very compliance to approved grading plan. Home is being dug to submitted plan—might drop home 4 inches due to 10' ceiling height under garage rather than 10'-4". Question on `lowest floor elevation' —dropped Sport Court under garage of walkout level??? PROJECT MEETING—TO BE SCHEDULED. Tony is to set a project meeting for this Friday with the Speed, Bernie (Bennett Lumber and window supplier), and framer- to discuss specific specs (footing sizes and exact wall heights, windows, dates, etc). SILTFENCE. Andy installed 50 ft of fence along the northerly boulevard for filling. OWNER UPDATE: Met with owners at site @2:30 to review front yard sport court grading and add'1 garage space planning. Went over floor elevations, lower level add'1 window possibilities. Driveway will `wiggle' to the North a bit to eliminate the `shotgun' approach to the home. 8-20 Wednesday. Rained heavy 3-7 AM. Muddy, rain threatening in AM. MCWD. Called to check on status of permit. Renee is out of the office until the 25t". Jessie is the only person to know, and he is out of the office all day. Jessie called @ 2 and admitted he approved his last week's site inspection, but had not processed his report yet —I demanded the permit—said it was promised in a few days as of last Friday—Renee out `til the 26th. He said he would try to speed it up. EXCAVATION. Mobilized around noon. Dug main portion of house. Will complete dig tomorrow. LOT CLEARING. Todd cleaned up the northerly boulevard. Will remove the dangerous
