Final Step hooking up the FARM SHOP Barndominium!

What happens here

Using a skid steer loader, carefully push the excavated dirt back into the trench, covering the newly installed drain pipe and cleanout. Compact the dirt as you go to minimize future settling. Ensure the area is graded appropriately to prevent water pooling. The creator notes he purposefully created a slight mound to account for future settling of the dirt.

Goal: Cover the installed pipe and restore the ground level.
