Seen today on Chasing Classic Cars. The car was at Amelia Island Concourse de Elegance

Few, like the Alpha in front of the Vette

My thinking is that both the architect and engineer upgrade the plans above latest codes so they can keep their 100% rejection free status. County building codes changed drastically here after 1992 Cat 5 Hurricane Andrew

It will be like an open car port type structure but I doubt that they let me do it. will leave the footing area prepared just in case there is a zoning/permit request variance. I will keep dreaming.

Exactly and I can use the oversized footing to anchor some custom made steel columns if I ever decide to put a roof

Concrete pumper and first out of 3 mixers arriving

Taking level measurements

I’m not finished yet and seen a young Iguana 🦎 visiting the site along with some 🐈 and a 🐕 that went to the bathroom on the bare soil! No 🐅 thought

Even the building inspector was surprised but they are always updating codes due to hurricanes. Like I said this was an overkill of a project. The whole footing Took 25 yards of 3,000 lbs concrete and the tie-beam and columns fill took another 10 yards. The inspector called the “Fortaleza” (The Fortress) when he visited for 2 nd inspection.

The larger backhoe operator missed couple of inches wide along the would be the retaining wall trench. The rebar installers could not seat the rebar with the proper plans dimensions so a mini excavator had to be summoned to scrape one of the sides. Two broken bucket tooth were damaged due to stubborn coral rock. So we begin the never ending story.

Both beautiful, the hill country and the Cord

True

Sidewalk is 4” poured and so far no cracks on light vehicle traffic, I don’t think I would have a problem since trailer and RV are not used in a daily basis. In the future if it gets damaged, a 6” replacement would be on order. No pilings needed here, pure coral rock.
