Morning update: On Monday, after much yelling with the PB - the real site supervisor aka Project Manager came out to the site for the second time since the build started (the first time was the day of excavation and he left before they finished). He walked around with Bob and he pointed out that there needs to be more footers, agreed that the form boards placed for the decking need to be replaced in some areas (as having been sitting out in rain and heat for two weeks are now warped), that the section where the new deck will meet the old patio has to be lowered so there's not a .75" tripping hazard, that the scupper will be straightened (he thought all three should be straightened but we said just the one is really the one that we notice the most), that the soil needs to be compacted especially on the pavilion and had thought it had been done by the concrete guys (who were also out there and who admitted they hadn't done it and the site supervisor rolled his eyes), that the decking area needs to be dug deeper in some areas so that the decking is more than 2" thick, that the joist hangar needs to go on before they can pour the concrete in the pavilion, he pushed on the columns for the pavilion and the whole building shook (they did put the columns in deep and concreted them in so not sure what that means...) and a few other things. His goal is to have all of this done so they can pour on Wed.
Tuesday update: No workers, no work done
Wednesday update: No workers, no work done - get an email from Project Manager asking if we think anything else has to be done before they pour concrete. Bob sends email back explaining nothing has been done yet. Bob gets call Wed night from Project Manager asking same question - Bob and PM discuss the open items (PM decides footers don't need to be wider to support fireplace because of location of fireplace but everything else needs to be done (scuppers to be fixed later) and Workers should be out on Thursday to do it all before Friday concrete pour.
Thursday - will keep you posted.
JJ - there is still a brace (you can see it in the above pictures) between the kitchen section of the pavilion (at the 90 degree turn) and the dining area of the pavilion - that's where a joist hangar needs to go (we think) so they can remove the brace before they pour the concrete floor. The Project Manager said the fixtures are adjustable so that when the trim carpenter puts in the T&G, the fixtures can be adjusted and the different depths shouldn't matter. It made sense to me - but you can tell me if it does to you.
