🚧Due to building codes, we have to build a footer wall for the new addition.
🔍We considered alternative options such as hiring an engineer to sign off on the existing piles.
⏳Opting for the simpler route, we decided to go with a footer wall, which required removing and reusing some materials.
⛏️We started digging the trench for the footer, but rain may delay our progress.
🌱Despite setbacks, we remain optimistic and determined to catch up on the construction.
Why do you have to build a footer wall?
—Building codes require a footer wall for the new addition, even though the existing piles seemed sufficient.
Why didn't you hire an engineer for the existing piles?
—We considered hiring an engineer, but it would have delayed the project by about a month, so we opted for a quicker solution.
How did the setback affect your progress?
—The setback involved removing and reusing materials, such as concrete piles and blocks. It set us back a little, but we remain determined to catch up.
Did the rain affect your construction schedule?
—Rain is expected in the coming days, which may delay our progress. However, we have plans to work around the weather conditions.
Are you still optimistic about the project?
—Despite the setbacks, we remain optimistic and motivated to complete the construction as efficiently as possible.
