What happens here

After the aggregate is spread, thoroughly water each step using a hose. Immediately following the watering, use a hand tamper to compact the wet aggregate. The combination of water and compaction allows the aggregate to settle tightly, removing air pockets and creating a much denser, more stable base. This process is crucial for creating a long-lasting and firm foundation for the stairs, preventing future settling or shifting.

Goal: Solidify the aggregate base through watering and compaction

Tools and materials

  • Hand Tamper
  • Water Hose

too. I deserved it. I've been a good boy with this. I know the sugar, but who it? I'm going to do it. Told you I was going to do it. Staying on business. I actually don't know what that means. By watering the aggregate, then tamping it down allows for it to settle and compact even more. All right. Well, those are my those are my steps. I like them a lot. Make sure you follow along. And uh in the meantime, I'll be auctioning off this sweaty tea. Promise you're not going to use it for weird sexual kinks. I'm gone.
