On Tuesday evening, our GC (general contractor) faxed the tree protection form to the city. On Wednesday, he got a message that the fax was printed on recycled paper so the lady couldn't write on the form. Therefore, she requested him to re-fax the form. Sometimes being too environmental can backfire. :D I wonder if they used soy-based inks too...
Only work done on was to get the trees protected. He doubly protected them - wrapped orange plastic fencing around the trees and then set up a chain link fence around each tree. And of course, the tree protection signs from the city.
GC also left his big dump truck on our driveway.
Another guy came by to measure the width of our gates...

Big dig!
Two Bobcats worked all day on digging a hole in our backyard. That's what the guy was measuring - whether the Bobcats could fit through. They removed our gate to get them to fit. Hiring the Bobcats saved the GC 2-3 weeks worth of manual labor and 18 trips to the dump (to dump all the dirt).
Later in the afternoon, they fitted one of the Bobcats with a drill to break up concrete. Part of our patio was taken down this way.
It was deeply satisfying to see the pit they dug in our backyard. :)
Btw, we passed the tree protection inspection in the morning. So by afternoon, the GC had picked up the contract! yay!
