I was watching season 5 of No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain. There's some good Vietnamese and Ethiopian restaurants in the beltway. Watch the episode (available instantly on Netflix) and eat some good food. That Ethiopan place looked like it rocked.

I will let you guys make your own conclusions.






Windows are formed in not cut. Forget the lack of bedding and fabric no big deal rite. I didn't want to be the building police, the customer gave me a deposit before we started. I was thinking just do my work and get the money but I do live by some ethics, if it was my home I would want some one to tell me.

Your right!
Now you can feel good having proved it. Time to move on after all that, up to the HO to decide what to do.

I just got a call from the BI and he tripped all over his tongue. He says well I will go take a look, maybe she has to insulate the footing, blah,blah,blah. Same guy that did the original. I don't see why the HO should pay for any of this but what do I know. I also don't want to piss the BI off I might need him some day if I work in this town again. I should be working anyways, have a commercial quote to get out. I am Having a hard time letting this go, it bothers me, it shouldn't but it does.

neolitic

It bothers you because it sucks
to get what should be a nice
straight forward job, then run into
a stone wall because of someone else's
oversight/FUBAR.

He's probably too stupid to read these posts on the internet, right?

jmacd

Yah I should should send him a link, he called me a secound time and said we would have to dig down around footing and wrap in 4" of insulation. I said that he would have to give me and the HO a specific plan so I could quote it to the HO. He than says " i really don't like talking to the HO she doesn't know much" I mention to him that she is counting on him to protect her from contractors doing work at her home. I still don't think insulation will protect from freezing but I don't plan on fighting the BI. I do beleive he is trying to protect himself but I don't think I should go over his head. What do you guys think, I can see myself getting in the middle over a little job that should of been done and paid for today.

mics_54

So you don't think bringing the footer up to CODE by adding insulation will protect the footer from frost heave. I don't know why you even contacted the Inspector.

We've totally avoided the code discussion so far. NY doesnt have the same freeze day index as Alaska (4000) I think NY is 2500. Alaska footers according to code and freeze day index is 42". Several times 48" was mention in this thread. Then you said something about fabric and stone etc.
The BI will have the last word in compliance.

BTW...be sure to compact that hole you dug out. to 2500 psi
