What they say

[Music] sam uses a grade rod which will beep when blaine hits the right depth he's got to be careful because if he digs too deep then they have to put soil back in place and must compact it so at some point around the corner i think we'll have to step up yeah this is a little low here or a little high because how how deep out of the ground are we right there i mean you measure from the bottom of the stick up to the grass where your feet are one one no yeah one so that means that block will be buried right there that's what we want right yeah but i would say stepping up maybe right over here i do that yeah step up right through here probably because i gotta hit that sweet spot but yeah we got one [Music] so that's the line right there all right so we'll come a little further that depth but to maintain that depth means more of the retaining wall has to come out
