    I'd say weeks of work compacted in 23 minutes! Fantastic!! So good to see... upcycling, recycling and repreposing! And a big hand to Digger Dave. Made short work of what would have taken forever and omg! the amount of buried rubble!!
    Merry Christmas!!

    Having worked as a geotechnician for a couple of years I have a good feeling about how much time and work and energy it takes to accomplish all these tasks. I always laugh when they dig graves in movies in like 20 minutes - with a spoon and a fork 🙂
    Awesome performance, can't wait to see the final result. Have a nice christmas!

    Fantastic work on a wonderful project. Just a bit of Dad advice for you: You did well to drop the grade around the exterior but I fear you’ve made a pond without any sort of perimeter drain. I can’t see your whole plan, but it looks like you could have issues with water trying to make it back into your space. A 12”x12” trench with 4” perforated pipe, routed with the appropriate fall off of the property, covered to grade with washed stone, would remedy it.
    Hopefully that wasn’t too annoying but it’s what I do.
    Cheers!

    My arms are aching from just watching you sledge out all of that concrete! Then shovelling out all the packed earth! Whew!🥵
    Nice to see you re-use the aggregate as underfill. Too many times I've seen that go right to the landfill.
    Great video, with shots of all the 'little gaffers' hanging around. 🐔🐓🐦 🙂 And I love the high tech switch for the dump trailer.😁 Cheers!😊

    Wow Ben, you sure are one hell of a hard working bloke. I'm floored by how much you've done in such a short time. I'm really getting a huge amount of respect for what you are capable of. The pile of aggregate didn't look like ten tonnes until you started spreading it out, it was an endless supply lol, looking at the pile and how thick you laid it inside, I was thinking there's no way. What a transformation, 🫣, gobsmacked.👍❤️

    if you place the barrow parallel with a slight angle to the product you will fill it faster. pulling it down into the barrow excellent efforts regardless

    I'd have put big O around the outside and burred it. It's standard in BC CAN to do for any building. Would work really well in that dip between buildings. It's just 3 inch flex pipe with holes all through it the gutters drain into then then drains the water away from the building. You back fill with 3/4-.

    Looks great but still not sure what you did to prevent water from getting into the shop. With numerous sheets of plastic laid down water just gets right under that. If it didn’t get right under that the low side of your plastic was against your building. You made the plastic higher along the soil away from the building and lowest side at the building.
    Just curious how all this is draining water away from the building. Or was the goal just to allow the water to accumulate in all this hard pack you made?

      ​@@ben-kilner with the heavy aggregate it might be less inviting, but still. I'd do an inspection around the foundation to be sure there aren't any openings in the wall. That's just more than a little unnerving.

      Good question! I’ll be putting gutters in during another episode. Given the pitches of the roof and the way the land lies the path around the side should’t see too much accumulation. I have built in a slight gradient to allow for drainage channels alongside paving stones 👍
