All that remains of the old River House is the small pile of rubble pictured above. The rest of the site is now a blank slate for our new house. We will be building on the exact same footprint necessitating a return visit of our surveyor to stake out the house corners. These stakes will guide excavation for the footings and walls of the new basement. Once the footings are poured we will have the surveyor return again to precisely locate the foundation wall corners on the footings. Jeanine and I travel to southern Florida tomorrow and will enjoy a nice respite from work and house.
