Excavate and Prepare Sub-Grade

Shut up. Good morning, guys. Well, it's a brand new day and we're starting a brand new project. We're actually going to be installing a ground level deck. Now, this deck actually might be a little bit more than ground level. In fact, we had to do a lot of digging to get below the bottom of this deck so we could get the right elevation set. So, we're going to show you exactly how we do this project and take you along for the ride. What lumber we use, what materials we use, what tools we use, and how we build it coming up next. So, what are we waiting for? Let's build a ground level deck. When we're building a ground level deck is we want to get air below the deck. We don't want the deck to actually sit and be suffocated by the air underneath it. So, we've got to establish an elevation. Now, this is our deck elevation right here. This board is setting everything up. You can see how much we dug below it so that we could get just that a little bit of breathing room established for the deck. All right, Frank, you got to you got to tell me about your markings. That's how many wheelbarrow loads I took out of here. 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55. So I took out about 60 65 loads out of here. And I'm talking big wheelbarl. That That'd be a small load right there. And the worst part, I just got done buying three electric wheelbarls. You don't bring me one. If I would have known, there would have been two up here and I would have been here with you. Frankie, you want to walk
