Building the Shop - Part 5 - Setting the Outside Perimeter to the Correct Level and Packing

In this episode of Building the Shop - Part 5 - Setting the Outside Perimeter to the Correct Level and Packing, we are getting the A Gravel to the right level and packing as we go.
This is Elijah's first time running a packer and he's doing a great job!
We are inching closer to being able to pour the concrete slab but it feels like time is flying by so quickly for the date that we set for ourselves to hit.
We used the Milwaukee Fuel M18 Hatchet Pruning Saw again to cut out the tops of the shrubs before I use my chainsaw blade on my Stihl Kombi to get it right down to the ground.
We do this so we don't puncture the tires on Big Blue.
We're leveling the outside base with the laser and an eight foot 1x4 and then filling in between with a shovel.
This is a slower process but this is the best we got.
Until the next one, keep Living the Northern Life!
