Most of last week was spent digging holes for the pergola posts and as this week drew to a close, I have re-evaluated my conclusion. They are clearly starting their own mining company. Each of the six holes is now a solid 3ft cube. If you've never had the benefit of digging through granite, let me give you some insight into the process...
It took one man 4 days to jack hammer this hole.
And as you can see, it is not a 3ft cube. No, after the jack hammering comes the pick axe, hammer, and shoveling...
Until it looks something more like this...
And then do this again, five more times...
After almost two solid weeks of digging, the inspector gets to come and look at the holes, the plans, and then asks for the building permit. Oh the building permit. Wasn't the sub-contractor for the pergola supposed to get that?...
Well apparently its not enough to have applied for the permit, it must also be approved, and mailed out. I'm not entirely sure if the sub-contractor totally dropped the ball on this one or if there were other contributing factors, but the cement trucks that were planned for today did not come.
Day 30 Status: Even MORE holy* backyard
