Completing Boulder Placement and Ground Compaction

i think we got enough boulders on whole valley it's over for a while and um i think alex is one of those guys that i'm guessing a few of you guys know these guys that you just need a chance to prove themselves and uh sometimes they can't prove themselves if you're breathing over their shoulders they don't feel like they're doing it yet i may be wrong on this but i think if i give him some space we'll take off for a little bit and then we'll come back in here and see how he's doing look at he's thinking right now he's great he's wondering which boulder to pick i love seeing how guys like that like every boulder wall has its own style hey i got these set up for big and then small over here do you need are you looking for something specific you say it i'll grab it this one [Music] okay [Music] i have a feeling more than one of you guys is gonna be like dirt monkey why do you keep jiggle juggling all those boulders around well there's actually a reason what i'm trying to do is lay these out so that they have their best balance point you can find that on the ground a lot of times how do these boulders just naturally want to lay and when you're trying to build a nice flat base for them to lay on in a wall the ground is going to be more forgiving than if they're laying on top of another set of boulders so i'll jiggle joggle these things around till i feel like oh this might be a great way for them to fit into the wall so you'll see me flip them rotate them and get them to the point where they're at their most stable and then leave them space them out so he can bring that claw in and have enough room that he can grab him without bouncing and banging off from other ones as much as possible of course and then just spin rotate and flip them right into the wall i'm just trying to make this job a little bit easier oh look at the artist is getting paid oh he's gonna hand lift that [ __ ] yeah that's a smart move alex that's gonna preserve your back the artist has to has to get it just perfect i get that feeling man i get that feeling do you need a hand that's a finger smasher what you're doing you're gonna need those nose pickers a few more years just be careful when you're building a retaining wall it's like a jigsaw puzzle right but none of the pieces were designed if really fit together you got to make them fit together so here's the thing let me kind of set this best backwards so you're building and build and stacking and then you put one ahead and as you…
