ISSUES AND CHALLENGES: 

a. Safety of the onlookers was a concern again this week, but we were able to install temporary 
fencing around the jobsite perimeter on 11/16/07. Please understand that the temporary fence is 
up for everyone’s protection, so please do not move any of the fencing unless it is absolutely 
necessary. The entrance on the West side of the property will now be closed at all times. 
ISSUES RELATED TO COSTS: 

a. Began excavation for lowering the basement footings and slab one foot in order to 
achieve approximately eight feet of head room in the basement. During excavation we 
ran into rock, we presented and gained approval for the additional costs for hammering 
out the rock.
