For our first field assignment for the building concepts course, we were assigned to clear out a foundation that had served as a crude gravel pit. Our goal with this foundation is to pour/ place a slab into it. To do this we needed level off the dirt and using the laser level in the first photo get our point of level in all four corners. Once we found our level points we then increased the height of our chalk line 2 inches at the back half of the "garage." This slope will allow the water to flow away towards the door and no pool inside the building.
Here we have exposed the footing to use the laser level and draw our line from the back 2 inches off the footer to the front where we will just run the line to the footers.
After we found our points the very hard working grounds keeper offered to assist us with the removal of the excess dirt.
