What happens here

Using a Kubota SVL 75 compact track loader equipped with a Bobcat brand hydraulic auger attachment, a series of 12-inch diameter holes are drilled 5 feet deep for the structural footings. The operator carefully positions the auger at each marked location and drills down, periodically lifting the auger to remove excavated soil and ensure a clean hole. This depth is chosen to prevent issues from snow accumulation and ensure the structure is well off the ground.

Goal: Excavate deep, precise holes for the platform's support posts.

and we're actually going to be building it on us pretty decent slope so the idea is the front of the Year platform is all of the year has to be off the ground because if you have it on the ground or if you have a deck around it and it's all ground level when the snow hits it's going to lean up against the Earth and that's going to create water problems so everything is going to be built off from the ground the front is going to walk out and face that way trying to do that and the back is going to be off the ground every time I turn I'm just going to wreck my our paint holes we lined up still pretty good Frankie it's over five yeah we're good is that hole need to be cleaned out more are we okay we're okay okay I'm going to the next one how deep is it you're getting four feet is what you get four and a half that's gonna have to work you want to go deeper or are we okay we're using a 12 inch auger blade and we're going five foot deep on all of our footings we're gonna actually be burying the posts underground but we are going to be adding a concrete footing to the post just for stabilization but without any power or electricity it can be a little bit of a challenge which is a perfect test for a cement mixer called the
