A Blizzard Trashed Our Job Site - GLASS HOUSE EP 6
What happens here
The project begins by addressing the initial site conditions. The existing wooden deck adjacent to the house is systematically dismantled and removed, clearing the area for the new construction. Following demolition, helical piles are installed into the ground to serve as deep foundations for the new structures, providing stability and support. The precise heights for the new construction are then located and marked using surveying tools to ensure proper elevation and drainage.
Goal: Clear the site and install stable foundations for new structures.
