The Earth only rotated ONCE!

Its hard to believe how in a time period of 24 hours, that things can change so drastically. It really is just like the world has been turned upside down. At least mine anyway. Just yesterday, I wrote about how exciting it was to be constructing and working on-site and how productive our team has been, and then just like that I was made aware of problems that could potentially force us to do everything over again. Among these, which is probably the biggest one, is the fact that our slab has been located too close to the property line and doesn't allow the proper setback distance. If this holds up, we are in for a lot more work because its not as easy as merely picking up the formwork and shifting it over 2'. Everything had been stringed accurately, braced and staked back, connected to one another, so this, to say the least, can turn out to be a very inconvenient task. Another major issue deals with the inspector saying that our group was not to have constructed any sort of structure, whether permanent or not, without a building permit, which we were under the impression that as long as we were preparing the site for dirtwork and building temporary structure, that we were cleared to do so. Just as long as we hadn't poured concrete, we would be okay, but the inspector has stated that we face a $250 fine for building without a permit. Another hindrance involves the fact that our pier side of our house has not been accepted as the code is being interpreted that all exterior walls have to basically be continuous through the ground and directly on a foundation wall. This can pull us back to changing our design decision to where we will need to design a different system. All of this comes on the verge of trying to schedule our ground-breaking ceremony on Saturday, arranging for dirtwork to be spread within the week among many other pending events. All I can say right now is we have some things to figure out. One positive thing that I will reflect on and end with is that given the current circumstances, I am really impressed and glad that we, as a class, are not panicking the way I would imagine any normal person would.
