[QUOTE="Eric, post: 3272, member: 108"] [SIZE=4]Thanks for all the feedback guys. Well I measured the slope and its about 33 degrees or 12 inch run to a 8/9 inch rise. The job was a little challenging and fun. I hauled out about 50 cu. yards of dirt in two days and I was realy taking my time on this. I was not in a hurry at all. I left about 15 yards at the bottom of the hill because the contractor said that its good enough for now. He still has to redrill 3 caissons and dig grade beams to connect all the caissons. The reason he has to redrill some holes is because the 3 holes on the side are to close to the property line. He told me that he had got dimensions for the layout from the plans. The inspector comes out and says, "wheres the survey for the property line". OOPS! No survey was done. I believe he said code requires a 6' clearance from property line. So he gets a survey done. The holes are only a 2' offset. OUCH! I then asked him why the plans where wrong. He said that the architect did not get a survey done for the plans and [B][U]made one up[/U][/B] so that he could get the ball rolling through plan check.[IMG]http://www.contractortalk.com/images/smilies/eek.gif[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.contractortalk.com/images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif[/IMG] Well he forgot to mention this to the contractor. Who do you think is at fault here? I think the architect is at fault here, but if I was the contractor I would of had a survey done before I began layout and drilling. Heck, he ended up having to get a survey anyway. When ever Im doing work near a property line for walls or a structure I always get a survey. Now he has to fill the abandoned holes with slurry.
