Clay Delay

Remember back when I discussed the lot and mentioned that clay soil was a common problem in Kanab? We were glad to know that our lot had already been over-excavated and prepared such that we didn’t have to worry about clay.

Well, while digging the trenches for the stem walls, they found clay in one corner.

Not good. Clearly, something went wrong while preparing the lot, and the company who did that work will be back to fix their mistake. All on their dime, so at least we’re only out time, not money. But it means a delay of about two weeks, so the walls will arrive before the foundation is ready, and thus need to be stored for a bit, complicating the logistics.

Update on the container with the walls: the NYK Daedalus is currently waiting to go through the Panama Canal.
