Great video. My suggestion,from doing something like this myself, would have been to scrape off the sod first and put it in a separate pile and let it compost. Then dig the topsoil and pile where is easy to use for other projects.
An excellent piece of equipment for this task. I think you did a great job Brock! At the end of the day you are building a lumber storage shed not a 500k home. A professional excavator may find areas for improvement but for this type and use of a building is perfection required? No. You do you.
Just a thought but instead of concreting those posts in use clean rock. That way you won't be holding water against the post. It'll drain away and the posts will last longer.
I think you need to dig a trench on the right (hill side) to get rid of rain water, you don't want all that water going under your wood piles as it comes down the hill. Seems like we're getting more & more storms with 3-5" of rain an hour...you'll end up with a pond under the building!
some slope to the "flat" storage area is good for allowing snow/rain to drain away vs. sit in place.. Always "good enough" is the rule - unless you are getting paid to work for someone else!
A perfectly good job there. There'll always be someone who says you're doing it wrong, so let them do it 'right' on their own property, with their own machinery 🤷🏼♂️
@RockhillfarmYT I think the video would appeal to a wide range of folks watching. Most of us would never need a full size unit, but a mini is attainable.
I wouldn’t use concrete on your posts unless you coat the part going in the ground with tar they seem to rot off at the top of the ground or you can tamp them in with rock or use that expanding foam just a suggestion.
Perfect piece of equipment to get the job done. Great plan to build exactly what the intended purpose is to be.
You’re only wrong if you listen to the naysayers Brock! Keep doing your Brock thing. It keeps life interesting!
Like the "picture in picture" added in here. Helps when you are in a situation it would be hard to record and talk at the same time.
Thanks. I do it to try to keep the videos from being too long.
Great video.

Love the skid steer dirt work! Great content and commentary! Always informative and enjoyable to watch. Liked, Viewed shared, Subscribed!
Thanks
@@RockhillfarmYTlove the grading process
About an hour ago, I finished off that project and got it ready for gravel. That is tomorrows video
"Good enough" is the measurement I prefer to use also ...because it works for me !

Good work!

Good job 👍
Nice flat spot.
Good job Brock, it looks good.

That step went well. You'll have a building before you know it!

I thought you were getting rid of the 325 G I bought mine after watching your videos
I have listed it for sale, but I won’t give it away. Until I get a fair price, I’m going to keep using it.
@@RockhillfarmYTGoing for something bigger?
I would like to see how the Baumalight would do it. I may buy a mini, but never a full-size unit.
I need to make that video
