What happens here

Using the skid steer loader, carefully position the large, flat seat stone in the excavated area next to the house. The presenter then performs the 'butt test' to ensure the stone is at a comfortable sitting height, with enough room to swing legs. He also verifies sufficient space for door trim clearance.

Goal: Place the seat stone at the correct height and position for comfort and functionality.
