All right. We're down here on Redwood and Boulder, Colorado doing this foundation, excavation and installation backfill. You've got Ryan working on utilities here in the Kubota front bill is spreading our site soils around and Becky is trenching for the perimeter drains. So she can go ahead and start to get that thing. Daylighted she's got it. The other excavator here. So we've got two excavators. We're going to get a sheep's foot roller compactor in here a little bit later today.
• 0:35 - 0:58
And, uh, that's going to be good. Jordan is going ahead and marking the foundation for all of our elevations and show him where he's going to be putting the giving marks for our operators to work off of, for, uh, top of there, where we're going to be backfilling to. And then he's going to hop in the middle here. We'll be filling the entire interior of this for a slab on grade.
• 0:59 - 1:33
So this is all gonna be brought up with lifts. We'll do 10 inch lifts with the roller sheet split compactor in here. So we do have expensive soils in here. So we're going to end up later taking these, uh, expensive soils with some cobbles and sand that's going to be coming in from another job site. It'll be coming in here tomorrow. So today is a lot of prep work and kind of getting ready. And then we will be filling up this whole boy. And we're going to try to get all this done in about a week. Uh, we'll throw all our hands at it, all our operators just kind of keep it going.
• 1:35 - 2:03
Here's where the water lines coming out and we're going to run converted over to packs and then run our locating wire along with it. So it can be found we're going to stick this frost-free valve in here. So we'll dig a hole right here and fill it up with crushed concrete. And then we'll tie that together with a compression fitting, a little bit piece of copper, and then we'll convert it over to PAX. And we'll run with our SharkBite Barb fittings in our,.
• 2:03 - 2:05
Our crimping tool. We're going.
• 2:05 - 2:19
To run the water line right along the bottom of this trench here, dive it down into the bottom there. And we have that little knockout there and we'll be going into the mechanical room in here where we have everything and we do need to maintain.
• 2:22 - 2:22
10.
• 2:22 - 2:54
Feet of separation underground between our sewer and our water. And we just have it right there. So I'm going to go talk to these guys here and see how things are coming. And basically we're going to start putting the job site to bed 90 night job site. It's a children's book forthcoming. All right. So right here, Jordan, Brian, Jesse, we just, I just hit this water line here and see it down the hall.
• 2:57 - 3:00
And what we did is we, it, and it was,.
• 3:02 - 3:03
Can we just cut it off.
• 3:05 - 3:42
With Ryan's a reciprocating saw there and then we bent it over and kinked it to slow down the flow. And now what we're going to do is cut it. It's going to start spewing water, like crazy. And we're going to stick this, a ball valve on there and with a compression fitting and tighten it down and it's going to be squirting out the end of our 10 foot pipe there. And then once we get that, uh, once we get that compression fitting nice and tight, then we'll shut off the bowel valve and then we'll, uh, continue on with our repair and get a nice, nice splice on the down stream side.
• 3:42 - 3:53
And then we'll open up the ball valve and, uh, make sure there's no leaks. And then we will bury it, continue on with our, our work.
• 3:58 - 5:14
Cut pressure pressure pressure backward, Jesse, you almost lost your private parts.
• 5:14 - 5:26
Jesse got blasted in the face and then not look out far too.
• 0:00 - 0:00
• 5:31 - 5:59
All right. Sorry. Method worked. It was pretty exciting. Definitely took a team effort. We got that all valve on there and shut it off. Alrighty, splice that up. Thanks to it. Opened up the ball valve a little bit, just a little squeak and letting it build pressure. No leaks yet. We'll blow out the other end here.
• 5:59 - 6:01
See, let it all pressurize for.
• 6:03 - 6:04
Right there. It is all pressurized,.
• 6:05 - 6:05
No leaks.
• 0:00 - 0:00
• 6:12 - 6:46
So that little knockout there at the base of the foundation is our sewer line. And we got a high spot right there. We're going to have to get over this trench and straddle it and dig this out a little more. Basically we hit the water line. We've got that repaired. That's more on the bottom of the hole, but our, our sewer line tie in right where we're going to be tying in is right in here somewhere. We've got about eight inches of fall, which is about one and a half percent, one, and a 1% slope is an eighth of an inch per foot. And that is considered by the national laboratories of material testing to keep a four inch pipe clean.
• 6:46 - 7:05
So we're good there. We have basically utilized most of our pile here for our perimeter grading. We also took today and tied into the perimeter drain, which you can see right here.
• 7:06 - 7:41
And we daylighted it out, down below, right down there. So between bringing up the grade surrounding the house and starting to backfill some of our mechanical room basement, we are running low on dirt. We still got a decent amount right through here. So we'll go ahead and continue to use all this dirt here. Um, and then we'll start with our interior backfill.
• 7:43 - 8:06
We still also need to run the water line. So I'll show you guys that all right, what's up guys. That was day one down here at the Redwood job site. It was quite a doozy Ryan and I spent all day digging out this sewer line to try to get enough ball coming down from the house.
