After a week of rest, work has finally resumed on the foundation. Our GC, after the debacle with the city, hired survey guys to come out and determine exactly where our property lines lie. After the survey was completed, he began to correct the foundation.
(Our GC explained this to us after it all happened.)
Yesterday, someone (a high-level boss in the planning department) came to our job site and encouraged our GC to file a form to claim money from the city due to the city error. [Our GC asked around and was told that it would basically take 2-3 years before he would see any money, if at all.]
Today was the day of the foundation inspection. The inspector was nit-picky and giving our GC a disapproving air. When our GC explained what had happened previously, the inspector became a lot nicer.
So it seems that the bldg department wants our house to be finished asap because I think the plan screw-up could be perceived as their fault as they had the final approval. Who would've thought our home construction would become part of city internal politics?
