Install and Compact Base Material (Class 5)

we use anywhere from four to six inches blaine's out taking out another load of dirt and coming back with more class five we are going to need a little bit of that today anyways we got this all excavated out where it needs to be within a half an inch of where it needs to be um when they say that you want four to six inches of base underneath your sand and your pavers we usually shoot for six because why not so we're in between uh like five and a half inches and six inches which is plenty so i'm gonna run the packer over it and then we're gonna start bringing class five back and packing it and what so what sam said is the four inches is what we like to use as a minimum six inches is really what we do like to shoot for and it's always better to air on the side of going heavy so if they go seven or eight inches what is it going to cost the company a few extra bucks but it's gonna make sure it's better than going too light which is like two or three inches worst possible thing you can do so the deeper you put that base though you gotta make sure that you get good compaction now sam's using 150 pound plate packer this is actually our finished packer and although it will suffice for the base we don't like to put all of the base in at once in pack it would like to put it in so i got the class 5 on all of this dialed in yesterday i was kind of shooting from the hip and just eyeballing it last night and we need three inches from the top of the line to the top of the class five because that's her sand and pavers like i said i was eyeballing it it's like three inches on the nuts the whole way down so feeling kind of good about that anyways uh blaine's up getting sand sounds like the place we get that ed is freaking real busy today so he's gonna be a little bit uh so plan for today i have this little strip in between that class five and this class five we gotta excavate out get class five in all that kind of stuff and i'm just gonna throw this out here right now i'm not gonna lie i don't have a ton of experience on the mini x i mostly just run the skid steers so for all of y'all that could probably do better in your sleep and all that kind of stuff first step at being good at something is being bad at it well said sam just chill well said sam brave boy actually filming uh you know something that he's not good at so let's go back to what we were talking about earlier with uh packing it and lifts we're using about six inches of base material but we're packing it in two…
