What happens here

This project details the process of installing helical piles in a challenging environment with limited access, specifically for new deck footings to support a roof structure. The video demonstrates the use of a hydraulically-powered, hand-operated helical pile driver to screw the piles into the ground, bypassing issues with conventional concrete footings near a house foundation and providing a stable base for construction.

We got to install two footings for our new roof that we're building here, and we don't have access like we normally would for helical piers. You might think, why not in this case just do concrete footings? Well, it's right next to the foundation of the house. This is not virgin soil. We'd have to go all the way down to the foundation, so we'd have like an 8-ft hole. We're going to use a handheld attachment. It's going to make it a breeze. Ah. That's We need one more person for lifting. All right, what are we doing here? There you go. A little bit. Okay. Give it a twist. Woo. See, the problem is I I did work out 2 days ago, so my muscles are a little taxed.
