Final Exterior Grading and Clean-up

most water away so it becomes a process of adding and subtracting we add the good clay based soil that we want while we subtract the wetter nastier clay based soil and get that away from the building foundation [Music] an easy rule they used to know how far away to stay from the foundation wall is the one-to-one rule if the foundation wall is eight foot tall he should stay 8 feet away from that foundation wall perpendicularly you know he can get his bucket closer horizontally but driving sideways along that foundation will all should be kept further away another wall he's working on is 3 foot so that means he can go just outside of the eaves safely without jeopardizing that foundation wall while Alex and Sam are touching up the grades with a rake Frankie is inside wrapping up the mudding on the wall all right end of the day got this all filled in along here now the boys have regraded to get all of the water to shut away from the buildings but we're gonna go backwards one day one of the questions that came up was won't that green treated timber that you buried just rot away and what I've learned through talking with soil engineers is that when you bury a green treated timber it encapsulates it and actually slows down the decay process a green treated timber like that will last a lot longer being completely buried underground than if the same timber we're just sitting above ground but let's go inside the garage and see how Frankie's doing and Frankie's got all his stuff inside here wrapped up so so we'll be back tomorrow to do the final touch-up work clean up this job site and then Frankie's off to a new position he's actually taking over our lawn care division so we're gonna take you on that ride god bless and go get them guys
