Not too much today, they peeled more forms, doesn't look horrible. Added more of the R-1 insulation and got a delivery of dirt + a compactor so I'm guessing tomorrow or Monday they will fill in the dirt under what will be the garage floor and then set up forms to pour it.

They didn't save any. Hauled it all off, so need to order more.
Easy they had all of the spoils from the excavation hauled off then buy it back and have it hauled in. This way the brother in law gets a piece of the pie plus the mother-in-law's sisters brother's son gets work as well and the future home owner gets stuck with the bill.
It would be interesting to know if they add any soil stabilizers to their fill dirt, and to see the compaction report
They're out tamping now. I presume there will be a compaction report done with the same diligence the inspections have been done.
This looks like most of the houses I see getting built here in Palm Beach Florida on the ocean. Shoddy work is everywhere. They always think they are saving so much money til they get my bill for fixing the other contractors "expedited and cheap" so called craftsmanship. Gotta love the titewads. They almost always pay in the end.
That retaining wall should have been sheet piling...
