LAYING OUT THE HOUSE
FINALLY, WE GET TO DO SOMETHING THAT MAKES US FEEL LIKE BUILDERS.
AFTER THE PAD IS BUILT, AND IT PASSES THE NECESSARY COMPACTION
TESTS, WE LAYOUT THE HOUSE. WE MARK THE FOOTINGS WITH LIME SO THAT
THE BACKHOE OPERATOR WILL KNOW WHERE TO DIG THE FOOTINGS.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THIS RIGHT. MAKE A MISTAKE HERE, AND IT WILL
SHOW UP LATER ON...AS IN THE NEXT DAY.
