Hey Mitch how is the sand pumping going bringing your new build site up to grade? That method is surely going to create some compaction issues for you at some point? Do they do some kind of equivalent Proctor soil compaction test there prior to letting you build, or do you just get to go for it?

There's one part of town here that is basically a giant sand dune. Sits all by it self, no way it was deposited by the river on the other side of the valley. When I sent redi-mix trucks in there, they had to be all wheel drive to get around :lol:. The footings under the houses are like 8' deep :eek:. US 101 is on that same dune. I'd love to see the engineering involved in the 60s to do that. They built a new overpass in that neighborhood recently, all the foundations are twice the size of any bridge I've poured concrete for in the past.
