The site prep and house pad took about a week to finish. First they cleared about 6 inches off the top, then came back and filled it so that it was about 18″ off of the natural ground. The back slopes down, so the pad is about 48″ off of the natural ground.
We heard several times from the foundation people that our pad guy did an excellent job!
They finished just in time. We had some heavy rain that weekend which led to more culvert drama…
