Introduction and Project Overview

you ever read grade before no ok so perfect by the time we're done today you're gonna know how to reset and read grade we're just gonna go over the basics it's not gonna be anything complicated but it's gonna be enough to get you by on a job site so when somebody tells you that they need to cut grade or add you're gonna know exactly how to set up a laser and get everything done morning Sam all right let me show you the basics first before we get too far into this let me explain this job to you real quick ok so what we're doing is right here we're say I'm just walked in we're having water problems come into the garage and you can actually see where the grade where you're standing right now alex is just a little bit higher you know you can eagle-eye it but when we're on a jobsite we can't eagle-eye it because then we need to actually verify grades because once we leave if there's a problem it costs us money to come back and fix it so that's why we set all the grades ahead of time and then that way if a customer ever asks hey you know how hallowed the grade set we know exactly what we did and what the elevations and the measurements are so it's pretty important that we get this straight but today what we're gonna be doing is taking this area right here between you and me we're gonna cut this down because right now all the water flows down and right into the garage so here's the short and skinny of it some of you are not going to like this video at all and some of you are going to absolutely love this video and here's why because this is going to be a two-parter this first part today we're going to teach Alex how to read grade on a real job site all we're really going to be doing is sharing that knowledge with him but more importantly sharing it with you guys so if you have crew members that have never read grade before this is the video you're going to sit them down in front of and have them watch you know if you already know how to read great you're gonna probably get bored or maybe get a refresher course or better yet don't tell me what I missed in the comments down below the second part is all action this is where we stout everything that alex has learned to this point he's gonna hop in a skid loader he's gonna be running a four in one bucket he's never ran hand foot controls in the loader so we're gonna see how he does with that he's never ran a four on one bucket so we're gonna be throwing him right out of the right out of the frying pan and into the…
