Backfilling Test Pit and Ensuring Site Safety

the garage and the law house more we'll be at the same elevation so there's different strokes for different folks and it's the same thing though there's common sense and engineers which is obviously what Brian is and then there's the technical engineers that are going to give you strict elevations I personally like working with the common sense engineers the guys that you can relate with talk with and get a good game plan together but are still held accountable for what they say so we're gonna backfill this one and then go dig a second test pit to make sure that the entire site is okay but one of the questions that get asked a lot is this John here is a too 99% for snow blowing I don't do use it for dirt work and this is why they do it does not do good offroad much better in the winter and summer [Applause] [Music] so now here's something that's pretty easy to forget this test pit will have to be re excavated before a house can be built on it because this is uncompacted fill soil if we just put a footing over the top of this it could lead to failure down the road so whoever does the excavation whether it's us or somebody else they'll need to pull the material out of this test foot and then put it back in place and compact it the reason we're not doing that right now is because I need to secure the site I want to make sure that we don't have any test pits left open overnight in case any kids in the neighborhood come traipsing through the lot they could fall into it and get hurt so their safety is my number one priority before construction begins though this test fit we'll need to be fixed the right way [Applause] but it'd be closing this video out here guys I just want to let you know that we had multiple test pits to dig on this site and you see Brian the the soil engineer standing right alongside of my boom as I'm digging I want to point out that that's a big no-no I don't care how comfortable you are with the operator don't ever stand inside the excavation zone if that backhoe gets out of control or something happens or a bee stings me in my back and I jerk I could hit that old guy with my boom arm it's not very safe and it's a big no-no on my part because I let him do it I've let other people do that I'm guilty of allowing people to stand within my excavation zone and that's how accidents happen so what you see happening right here is bad on him and it's worse on me for allowing him to actually stand that close to my work zone and I want you guys to be…
