Phase 1 Research


Over much debate we have chosen a new site to build Mrs. Archie's home. Instead of Line Ave. we will now be building on Jones St. I was in charge of researching pier and beam foundations and the methods of constructing them as well as codes, concrete types, soil typologies, and footings. Today I will give a power point presentation to the class after another group gives a presentation on site prep. Jordan and me will be presenting our research and Bradon, Kyle, and Dj also have research that they will be presenting. Our new site has some issues with an existing flood plane, so we have to clear the site before Friday so that we can get a survey crew out to find out exactly where the flood plane is. Tonight I have to start further research into pier and beam foundations more specific to our floor plan.
