The general contractor is now digging a new foundation for the building. The creation of a new foundation is one of the major reasons we undertook this project. The old foundation was falling apart and the basement was wet, causing deterioration and mold in the structure above it. Our reconstructed building wil have a full height basement and will employ various techniques to devert water away from it. As they dug a deeper hole for the new foundation, the contractor discovered what we had known all along: 10 Harrision Ave. is a very wet site. Note the water accumulating in the hole on what was a dry day on Friday. We are hopeful that the rain this weekend will not have a negative effect on the schedule for pouring concrete this coming week.
