All,
Thanks very much. The cost of a little concrete
is nothing compared to the possible (liabilty) cost ramifications here.
I am going to dig down to virgin soil.
I have a residential lot on which a 1.5 story brick 40000sf
house will be built. The lot is at the end lot adjacent to
10 lots which have all been excavated for basements and
clay soil bearing is good. The project in in Charlotte
NC.
My lot was built back up in 2' lifts approximately 5' above...
