It is going to be a miracle if i ever get this garage built. After going thru a few contractors who have done nothing but waste my time, there references dont pan out, or they start with a estimates that left me open to wide price overages, i have resorted to running the project myself.

Up here code requires 4ft frost walls and i require foundation and floor that will handle pulling the 4500tlb in with hoe off but loader on. about 8k lbs, round up to 5tons to be safe.

Hit it with hoe, some sqaure blocks of granite come up but alot does not move. Going to have to power wash and hand dig dirt out so i can see what i can drill and spilt out.
