Introduction and Site Assessment

What happens here

The project begins with an introduction to the goal: constructing a large shop building (approximately 60 by 150 or 60 by 200 feet) on a previously established garden spot. The creator emphasizes the rich, organic nature of the existing soil, accumulated over years from manure, compost, and wood chips, which he refers to as 'black gold'. He outlines the plan to carefully remove this valuable topsoil for use in a new garden area, while the shop's footprint will be prepared with a packed crushed run gravel base. He also mentions the high current cost of construction materials, especially steel.

Goal: Understand the project scope and assess the existing site conditions.
