Because of the soft ground in New Orleans, pilings must be driven into the ground before a house is built. The pilings stabilize the ground upon which the foundation will be placed. The truck carrying the pilings showed up at the lot loaded with pilings. Before we knew it, the pilings were off-loaded and ready for the pile driver. It took 2 days for the crew to drive 129 pilings under the ground beneath where the house, garage, and sidewalks will eventually be placed. I know the neighbors are happy that the pile driving has been completed!!!
Next: Building of the foundation!
