This week we had one of our first construction meetings.  For a while, we will be meeting weekly in order to be kept up to date with the progress of the project.  The typical players at these meetings are Jay and Ziter from Ziter Saloomey Construction, Dana from Dana Bixby Architecture, and myself.  Every now and then, there will be cameos from site engineers and landscapers and subcontractors.  This time we just worked out the schedule of meetings, discussed the possibility of pinning the building to ledge as opposed to removing it, and determined that we may not need the footing drains as planned.
