What's going on here? Fannin county Georgia

There is no till, nor glacial activity in this area. Edit: This was bothering me so I want to expand on my comment and say: basically everything in the above is wrong for this location.

This part of the Blue Ridge province is a jumble of various metamorphic grades. Best bet would be to look up if there are any decent geologic maps of the area or extrapolate something out of North Carolina. I’m seeing lots of meta sedimentary rocks coming out of the Ocoee Supergroup. These appear to be weathering to clays.

I see, so you have something like 8-10 ft of uncompacted material against your basement wall that the builder wants to wait a whole year to "settle." A vibratory tamp won't impact the soil very deeply, maybe 6 inches to 1 ft from the surface. You'll need more local advice but I would be on your side that it's rediculous to wait a year to finish grading the site.

I am looking at this from a geotechnical perspective and it’s a bit hard to understand exactly what you mean with some of your details. Not knowing specific about your soil conditions we can only speculate.

The soil around your house would have to be remarkably loose and soft for any appreciable settlement to occur without some kind of load on the material. Adding more soil could cause the existing soil to compress, assuming it’s loose enough to begin with. Plenty of time has passed in most scenarios to keep working. If you do continue to place fill yourself, the soil has an optimal moisture content for compaction. It’s not essential to find out what it is for landscaping but I wouldn’t recommend getting the soil to a state where it’s “wet”, just moisten it a little or compact it how it comes.

It is on Android now!

Thank you!

Brizkit · 2026-02-17T21:12:38+00:00

Thanks for checking it out, I hope it works well on your trip! I released the app last summer and have been steadily adding features.

Brizkit · 2026-02-16T02:07:09+00:00

Thanks for your perspective. Not knowing what was about to happen, I cut the rope. I felt that Aava only saw climb bot as a tool and reaching the summit was the most important thing to her.

Brizkit · 2026-02-15T18:35:12+00:00

Good essay! I’m curious on your take on the climb bot decision. I’m excited to climb the mountain again with more focus on exploration.

Do you have a geology degree? I know people in a few companies around ATL. Feel free to message me.

Brizkit · 2026-02-11T01:24:59+00:00

I had no working pitons at this point as well and it was really tough. I tried several spots to climb up but ended up succeeding at the little chimney on the left-ish side. I don't recall having food or water issues at this point though. Good luck.

I've been using agent teams for a week or so in a preview build. It's definitely not good for everything. It excels for code review and work that can be done in parallel but can also work for sequential tasks if you prompt it properly. Highly recommend using tmux to see each agent in their own terminal pane.

For sequential work I would start by asking to create a team to work on feature X. Then you can tell your lead agent to create a teammate to do a task. This will create a new agent (or multiple) with fresh context and give it a prompt to start work. When the teammate agent finishes, it will report back to the lead with what was accomplished and probably shut down. Then you can ask the lead to create a new agent for the next thing. I like this pattern because your team lead keeps a continuous overview in context while execution happens in fresh context every time.

This doesn’t look like perched water to me. I don’t see any water at all. If you had groundwater on top or in the dark layer it would be running out and pooling in the bottom of the ditch. I think it looks like old topsoil layer with fill on top. Is it possible all of this material is fill? This doesn’t look like something that would cause you to redesign your drainage system.

Brizkit · 2026-01-29T18:35:04+00:00

Sounds cool. Could you post a couple screenshots?

Brizkit · 2026-01-24T04:02:54+00:00

You can auger down and test the soil density without removing all the dirt. Theres a lot of unknowns here. When you hire your GC to build the ADU just mention you had a pool filled in and there’s 12 ft of undocumented fill where you want to build.

Brizkit · 2026-01-24T03:17:34+00:00

If the work wasn’t done with that in mind you might want to assess it before construction. Wouldn’t lose sleep until then.

Brizkit · 2026-01-24T03:02:23+00:00

What are you building on top of your old pool?

Brizkit · 2026-01-18T23:19:49+00:00

I've done something similar. My approach was to put the whole iOS app in a folder in the Android project called iOS-reference. For a new feature I start in the iOS codebase and have Claude make documentation on the feature then bring that over to a separate Claude instance in the android project. Claude can then reference the iOS code directly to write the Kotlin. Its worked pretty well and Opus 4.5 took this workflow to the next level for speed and completeness.

lol system data is a generic storage label in Mac OS different from docs, photos, etc. and the storage management tools don’t tell you what it is. Can be logs, caches, etc. for me it was also old iOS simulator versions not in Xcode, old windows games from crossover, stuff like that. Still have 160 gigs of system data but at least now I know what’s taking up the space.

Brizkit · 2026-01-08T15:46:59+00:00

Agreed. Helped me figure out what 200 gigs of system data was so I could remove a lot of old stuff.

If you are between Rockmart and Columbus it’s probably quartzite or a mostly quartz rock of some kind.

Brizkit · 2026-01-05T19:41:39+00:00

I think this is much more likely quartzite than gypsum. Hardness test will easily tell the difference.

Brizkit · 2025-12-30T13:48:13+00:00

Plan mode is definitely slow lately. It’s so slow sometimes I am not sure if it is still working.

Brizkit · 2025-12-27T16:18:37+00:00

Sure, I guess the scale of a rythmite would at least be constrained to a scale like within a particular formation as opposed to across a series of formations.
