Boring, Preacher

What and where can we build on our new property?

That question will largely be answered in a VERY BORING way.

This week, we had our first “boring” tests done… That means that a couple of guys from CCL & Associates came out to bore several holes in strategic places on our new site, looking for depth of bedrock.  See, we definitely want to build on THE ROCK! (Didn’t Jesus tell a story about this?)  BUT, we don’t want that bedrock to be too shallow under our surface, or else we will have to blast!  (blasting is expensive!!)

So, the guys were planning to bore 8′ deep holes looking for bedrock depth.  It turns out none of their holes went more than 6′ deep.  That rock is shallower than we thought.  Some of the holes only made it to 1′ deep!

So, exactly what will that mean for us?  Well, the boring guys (lol) will have to get their report to the geo guy, who will write up a recommendation for the architect, who will then make a proposal to us.  Sometime.

So we wait!
