How long was it from signing the contract to starting the dig?

How long was it from signing the contract to starting the dig?

sorry - just saw this- 5 weeks. end of may to first week in July- permits took a while- their runners couldn't take it to their usual channels and hand deliver it- COVID-19 issues. And to top it off- the builder is swamped with business.

Gunite today- plenty of delay with rains- 2 weeks after dig.

Unfortunately the news is showing 2 disturbances in the Gulf and predicting more rain. Keep positive and ensure the PB does not cut corners trying to finish.

Not much I can tell if they are cutting corners... everything looks ok... long pipes and gas line went in day before. Waiting for city inspection.
The pipes are pressurized- dropped from 28psi to 27 psi over 2 days... is that acceptable?
