Top of cap equals finished floor elevation. So we'll be able to pull everything right off of the top of that cap. That's far finished floor. So what I'm going to do is go through just do an initial scrape of the top three to four inches and get get our rahdert exposed so that we can see and then I'll go back through and I'll paint out all of our footprint again and when that's.
That's going to do is give us a chance to just really keep a good eye on our layout and then the garage is basically all out here. So we're going to try to leave this top soil intact as best we can there's our finished floor elevation here. So you just have to it's the same height as that other one is we got two spots we can pull from and shoot our laser from and we know that's where we're going to we're going to have a big cock.
Concrete slab here. So we're going to take all this down a ways maybe down 18 inches. If so, just remove this dirt and pull it all down at the footprint of this garage is not has not been surveyed yet for the garage. So the bulk of our work is basically going to be in this.
You know this this big excavation here, so we'll go ahead and and start removing the weeds and whatnot. And then we'll take it to working with equipment share on this machine rental is a 55 thousand pound excavator a deuce on DX 225 Carson. Gabbar. You can check them out on Instagram find him direct message them.
Get some some good rental equipment by whatever you need. You'll help you out. He's great. So this is our building site here and you can see some steaks. I'm coming up to and I got some initial painting down. We have 10 foot offsets with pink whiskers. Some of these have got knocked down driven over.
Possibly by myself, but we got the whiskers on the ground. So we try to preserve those as long as we can and if we gotta wipe these out we're going to set and pull further offsets off of here. So we got green whiskers for our actual Corners. These will get wiped out when we start digging and then we have our orange line that I just went ahead and connected the dots and got our footprint painted out. We do have some some jobs and.
Some squiggles in here. Let's see. I'm going over to there. So I'll go ahead and paint this now, but we're digging down about 12 feet of depth here and are finished floor elevation is about where I'm standing you can see we got a couple of steaks.
Got a nice little ant pile. It's going to get destroyed unfortunately.
Say a prayer for those ants but there's our finished floor elevation. All right. Hey, what's up guys? This is Jesse high-performance Earthworks. We're getting ready to start another excavation for revolve design-build company out of Denver. They're awesome to Great Custom Homes energy efficient professional super great to work with we've been doing a lot of homes with them. So we're getting ready to start this next excavation and give you guys a quick walk through real quick. All right. We're out here down here on Eldridge Street working with revolve design build on this excavation for this new house and we have a 12 foot basement to dig out for the entire footprint of this house and.
Oh my God, there's a lot of dirt. Look at this mountain that we're building over here just to stash and stockpile order 20-pin all of our top 6 feet over here on this pile. And then when we get down into our clay, we're going to start having to pile it up over here. And we can hopefully get it all out of the ground and make a mountain big enough to accommodate at all.
We've left our green actual Corners in the ground here and see those and in that Island there. As well as right here. So once we get this all Dugout will wipe out our our islands where our green Corners are. And then we'll Reese take it off because we still have our 10-foot offsets. We're doing everything we can to maintain and preserve throughout the excavation because as you can see there's a lot of traffic and a lot of dirt getting pushed around. So it's really easy to lose track of our of our survey points. Those are valuable indicators of where we're supposed to be we're supposed to put this house. Did you lose track at any time?
We can get off for Mark's trying hard not to see that. Enough to accommodate at all. We've left our green actual Corners in the ground here. You've already top 6 feet over here on this pile. And then when we get down into our clay, we're going to start having to pile it up over here. And we can hopefully get it all out of the ground and make a mountain. All right. We're out here down here on Eldridge Street working with revolve design build on this excavation for this new house and we.
