Making Adjustments on Foundation tolerances

My  brother Scott came out and helped me to operate the lazer transit to check the level of the foundation walls. You expect some variance, it's concrete. But the time to know where these variances are is before you start installing the floor. That way you can make the small adjustments needed, and have a perfectly level and square floor. This is very important and is worth any effort and time you invest. The greatest variance was 5/16" and is easily corrected with some shimming of the mudsill. This week we will dig the electric supply line and install underground conduit; complete the piers and have termite pretreat; and begin framing. Yehaw, I cant wait to work with wood!!!!!!
