Water is wrecking my house! Can Regrading fix that?!? Start to finish in 4 k

What happens here

To retain the newly elevated parking pad and further manage water flow, a boulder retaining wall is constructed. Large boulders are transported using the ASV RT-75 skid steer, this time equipped with pallet forks. The boulders are strategically placed to create a sturdy barrier. The narrator acknowledges that the soil cut from the foundation area will be backfilled behind these boulders, integrating the grading changes. During this stage, lumber for interior framing is also delivered and moved, showcasing other concurrent activities on the construction site.

Goal: Create a stable retaining wall to support the new grades and parking pad.

Tools and materials

  • ASV RT-75 Skid Steer ASV — Transporting and placing boulders
  • Large Boulders N/A — Forming the retaining wall
  • Pallet Forks — Lifting and carrying large boulders
  • Lumber — Interior framing (unrelated to main project, but delivered during this phase)

on the site and one of the prerequisites that we need to do is we need to maintain a road going down to the lake this is the access road and so this can't be cut down without building something here so we want to be careful how we grade this out and we also got to have a second access path going down that way so the soil that we generate from the cut procedure there is going to be flipped up here to build an elevated parking pad which means coming through here i'm going to have to do something i'm going to cut this out flip this up and build a wall on the back side this is part of what makes this an interesting job is this tight it's a big machine in a tight spot there's not much room for forgiveness so i'm gonna cut my path in right here it's gonna have to be wide enough not only for the machine but for the boulders as well i've got excess boulders here so i'm gonna use my boulders [Music] just build this up so i can get the water to pull a little better away from here [Music] so this soil that i'm generating right here is going to be used for a more level spot up there and to define the drive areas oh that's not how it's supposed to work [Music] all the way up i don't need all that power it's just sand [Music] and it just gives me more control over the machine if i'm careful if i get myself in trouble i might have enough time to get myself out of trouble i'm going to try to build myself a big enough work area that i don't get myself in trouble right [Music] so [Music] is this the interior framing yeah is that for the walls too frankie is that enough yeah 30 of them you got 30. yeah i don't know if enough it's going to be close but you know with that back one but yeah [Music] all right we've got the wood hauled in for frankie you know every little thing he can do helps out that's the way i look at it even if it's not something big amazing or important one less thing on somebody else's plate
