All right. Hey, good morning guys. This is Jesse. I'm going to make a quick video of the little bear village soil preparation project that we have underway here. We have all the topsoil stripped away and got to have it all in this big pile here. It's probably about a hundred yards.
• 0:17 - 0:17
Do you ever paid.
• 0:19 - 0:51
Then 10 dump trucks, lots of metals. So we have some saturated soils and some ground water in here. So we're going to go ahead and start loading up some of this four to six inch of cholesterol crush pad in here. Over here, we have all of our structural fill. We have class one structural fill here on the front, a little bit of recycled concrete here, as well as some classics road base in the back there. So are well supplied with some good structural backfill in here.
• 0:51 - 1:21
So in here, cause see, we've removed all the top soil over here. We do have some groundwater coming in. I am working on getting the soils engineer over here on site bill Wilkinson, and he will be advising on how to handle this groundwater here. I see his plans call for two and a half, two feet, eight inches above the groundwater is hard.
• 1:21 - 1:33
Top of slab, top of finished floor. So I'll be loading up this with some coarse aggregate rock.
• 1:35 - 2:10
And then we do have a perimeter drain. We have a bed of three quarter inch crushed gravel around the entire perimeter with the perimeter drain four inch perforated pipe in there. We have some frozen ground here. We expose this and last night it froze. So this got cold. This is all pumping. This is all saturated soil here. So the chat with the soils engineer and see how he wants to handle this.
• 2:12 - 2:44
I believe this is mostly snow melt, but there's probably also some groundwater underneath this whole area might be looking and dealing with an underground river right here. This is where the previous building was also sitting and this is a low spot. Doesn't really have any drainage at the moment. So we're in discussions with the property owner about where to drain this, this site to drain it over there or over this way, the pros and cons to each.
• 2:45 - 2:54
But really what we're needing to do is just come up and get this, these buildings up out of the groundwater out of the ground, get them up high.
• 2:55 - 2:57
And make sure.
• 2:57 - 3:05
That they have plenty of positive slope away from these buildings. Water, no water can get away.
• 0:00 - 0:00
• 3:21 - 3:50
So just matching the, the detail on the foundation that orange dot right there is 12 inches above our standing groundwater. And then we're coming up to foot eight inches for our top of finished grade, which is to right there, right at the top of our existing grade. And then six inches up from there is our slab top of slab.
• 3:55 - 3:58
It's like we're in business. We're going to go ahead and fill this.
• 3:59 - 4:00
Hole with.
• 4:01 - 4:31
Four to six inch crushed rock right here, stabilize the soil. All right, so we're building this up. This is all rolling pumping soil. We're building this up with four to six inch crushed aggregate coming out of Albert Fry and we're bringing in another load of this and these shockers, they had the wrong address. So this their second load of rock, they were supposed to get us three and then that'll be fine though. I just don't necessarily want to pay for them, losing those in their way.
• 4:32 - 5:08
Uh, all the other trucks have made it just fine. So I don't know what's wrong with these guys anyway. So we're going to get that dumped right in the corner there and we'll bring it in, bring it over into here. This is a class one structural fill. We're going to just start filling this up. We've got good stable heart, ground, dry ground here. And Dennis wants to chat right now. The surveyor and the original architect has this lot or this floor elevation higher than this one. And then we're sort of the natural low spot of this whole site is, is down here in this corner.
• 5:09 - 5:18
And so Dennis and I right now are discussing and trying to figure out how to achieve this drainage plan and basically pitched the whole lot over into here.
• 0:00 - 0:00
• 5:41 - 5:49
These guys are rookies, man. That'll break a frame too, right there. Got it all worked like that.
• 6:02 - 6:10
How's it going? You guys, you got lost in the morning, man. Is that right?
