Initial Excavation (Day 1 - Part 1)

pre-filter area what's the next thing we're going to do so next thing what we're going to do is we're going to start kind of laying out some of the shapes here um actually I think in my notebook I have a couple sketches that I did on our previous visit I know you did some recent work so we're going to flop stuff around a little bit but negligible you did find though some interesting stuff underground which we always need to address anytime we're doing excavation you know any type of underground work even if it's a plant in a tree you want to know what's underground um so I'm thankfully you said right away hey we may have a potential issue uh so that is our issue and of course course it's going right right where we got to go but we on what was it Friday Zach Friday we abandon this okay so we pulled this all apart took everything apart we still got to be careful doing the excavation cuz I can't rip it out yep but I can cut it and circumvent it and it that way it doesn't become an issue and it won't hold up productivity yeah and we're probably not going too much past that point that point yeah this is where we ended it I'm like yeah I don't really think we're going to cuz we want to have uh you know for your dogs and everything we want to have some Turf area still we don't want to take up everything we want to create a dramatic water feature but we still have to be conscious of some of these other things so right where wherever we want that bridge if it's going to be 8 10t or something like that so everything we have this big filter bed and it's going to kind of come through a little funnel um and then what we want to do is I want to have that output um I would almost like to kind of push it a little bit of an angle because close to the home we want to make sure that we're sweeping you don't have any floating debris or anything so we'll have the output of this uh filter system going towards the home and then it's going to kind of make a hard turn back to the pump so that way we're really kind of we want to utilize as much of that water flow as possible all right so we started what two two and a half hours ago yeah okay y so we're going to be doing just the mass excavation getting every the Contour set so we know what we're up against exactly so yeah we just want to make sure you know when doing any type of a water feature we have the water level we have to work off of the target's 5 ft in depth but uh because your your property pitches and slopes all over the…
