On the second week of construction on the new workshop, we filled in the giant pit from last week! We are moving right along with getting this building built. Next week we hope to get our building permit and start work on the foundation.

Really cool. It's interesting to see the process of building new structures.

@Khaltazar 4 года назад

Those must have been good contractors, the majority would probably just bring in some soil compact that top layer and immediately concrete over it.

@sketch8802 5 лет назад

Nice, can’t wait to see the finished product :)

Enjoying this series:-)

Great video!

@Rock-ck7ms 5 лет назад

Ben - I find these videos very entertaining and interesting to watch! Thanks for sharing. Did you have to explain this process to your new neighbors? And that it could be a tad noisy?

@Aliusmi 5 лет назад

A lot of work 👍🏻

That was some compact compacting i'll tell ya whut.

@borderwave2 4 года назад

Can any contractors explain why they had to compact a bunch of dirt for a simple garage. Where I live, you can just pour the slab on compacted gravel.

@canadude6401 3 года назад

Me too. It seems to be overkill, especially digging down 4 feet first! After all, it's not a new runway for LAX!

@borderwave2 3 года назад

@@canadude6401 I can only imagine how much cost this added to the project. Probably 10k in labor or so.

@canadude6401 3 года назад

@@borderwave2 I was just thinking, he said he lives in SoCal so maybe with earthquakes it's standard practice to do this type of foundation. Also, it is more than a garage or shop, and intended for habitation with plumbing and waste stacks, so maybe this is not overkill afterall.

@nickdavis1167 16 дней назад

They already had the soil not sure why the dug it up could be they had the soils tested and it didn’t pass inspection. If this is the case it was a lot cheaper to compact the soils instead of buying stone and compacting it.

IDK.......foundation wall dug down to prop solid soil (as tested by a soil engineer ($325), and maybe 2’-2 1/2’ of gravel under the slab. That’s it.

@nadavlevvy2 23 дня назад

nice job. What was the total cost? what is the area? how much time it took? thanks

@andoriagems 4 года назад

Ben are you required by law to notify your neighbors of the possible high decibels levels and vibrations that may be generated during the entire process...

@antpoo 3 месяца назад

Damn that is overkill. It’s a house pad not a highway 😆. Great job though.

is that a 1.5 ton roller?

I thought you were working on your chimney

@curmudgeoniii9762 3 года назад

Did you think about your neighbors with the compactor. I had the village put in a new road topper and the same type machine put cracks in my and many other homes. Village not responsible? Why not. Also, how much is your budget for this (shed?).

@synthdude7664 4 года назад

Did you compact this in lifts of 300?

@GoatZilla 4 года назад

What happens if it rains during all this?

@nombre6503 6 месяцев назад

How much do people charge per yard for soil compaction services ?

@luckyrock00 3 года назад

What does something like that roughly cost?

@Education-1964 4 года назад

Why so many rules for a concrete slab?

@robbob4872 4 года назад

looks like overkill seings as how it doesn't look like you can drive anbything bigger than a riding mower into it with the other structures surrounding it...
