What happens here

Begin the grading process using the compact track loader. The primary goal is to elevate the house pad by 6 inches compared to the surrounding grades to ensure proper drainage and prevent water accumulation. Use the loader to taper all grades together, creating a smooth transition around the building site. This involves moving earth from higher areas to lower areas, especially within the defined swale (a shallow depression used for drainage).

Goal: Elevate the building pad and establish initial drainage grades.

okay one of the biggest mistakes I see home builders doing is setting houses too low uh once you set a house too low there is no recourse the water floods in and it creates issue after issue and a lot of homeowners are probably out there experiencing it firsthand sadly and the easiest solution ution to setting a house to though is just to raise it up in the beginning and so I raised this up house up 6 Ines higher than any of the other grades around it but once I did that I needed to taper all of the grades together so that the house would flow [Applause] [Music]
