We discovered where the house is going we had about 2′ of soft muddy ground that had to be removed to get down to a good solid base. Then using the backhoe we dug good red clay from a borrow pit and spread it in the pad area. We used the backhoe to wheel roll the clay in lifts because we were unable to come up with a sheepsfoot roller. We put it in in 8″-12″ lifts to ensure good compaction. Then I starting digging on the driveway area we are going to cut down. I wanted to pile the brown clay to put back in the borrow pit for the driveway but there was not a ton of room so it was a lot piling here and there then backfilling. Thanks for watching! #EliteEarthworks #Takeuchi #buildingapad
