Our Structural Engineer met (spoke) with our GC today and was informed that the majority of the dirt has been removed which will give them the ability to properly connect the expansion with the existing structure.  Now they will need to build temporary supports to support the existing structure as what was previously constructed by our GC was insufficient and basically put the existing structure at risk of collapsing. 

What is encouraging is the fact that she laid out the order of what needs to be done as well as how to do it.  She pressed our GC for a schedule, yep, you guessed it – he couldn’t even begin to provide one. I hate this feeling that has been created.  It’s becoming obvious that our GC has basically drawn a line in the sand that there are two separate parties at work on our house.  Us along with our Structural Engineer, and then him and his subs – we’re supposed to be working together as a team.  I don’t like this setup and I’m growing highly concerned as to where this is going to lead.
