Construction - Stage 1 - The Slab

June 12, 2007 - Surprise! Our construction has started six days early. When I drove by our Lot in Lakes of Mount Dora today, I saw a survey crew at work. They were locating / installing the four lot corner pins and staking the corners of the house. Two of the corner pins that they "found" were about three inches down under the sod of the existing neighboring house.

After the four pins were set / exposed, I put concrete doughnuts, similar to sprinkler head protective doughnuts, around them. I also drove 18" sections of plastic pipe next to the pins, so we can continue to find the lot corners during construction. After we're finished, and the sod is laid, I will do something more permanent at grade level.
