8:00AM things started up again. The remaining asphalt was removed, and then the rocks under the asphalt had to be removed. This took a bobcat a long time, scraping and scraping until all the rock was gone and nothing but dirt remained. The back hoe quickly pulled up the existing sidewalk concrete and loaded it into the dump truck. Mike Dierking, our on-site supervisor from Hutton Construction (and a very nice guy) cut the sidewalk away from the existing building. An old water line was discovered in the berm next to the retaining wall, and it was determined that it was abandoned. It wasn't. Thankfully, after having to turn off the water to the entire church for an hour, Scott Meggers came to our rescue and capped the water line off. At 4:30PM, the back hoe started the process of removing approximately 2 feet of dirt from the existing footprint so it could be filled with the “low volume change soil” (LVCS).
