    • @DrawingTechnical
      @DrawingTechnical 4 года назад +5

      I guess you would use piles to search for deeper ground that might be harder. Would it be a common solution or does digging deeper solve the problem anyway?

    • @timothyhofmeister1832
      @timothyhofmeister1832 4 года назад +8

      @@DrawingTechnical digging deep enough you will reach more solid rock. there is "bindig". and "night bindiger" (I know them in German because I am an in construction in Germany. unfortunately I don't know all the English technical terms, and sometimes concepts that exist here don't even have an equivalent in America.) ground types I don't know the exact English translation, but the difference is that one will absorb water like clay or silt. Nicht bindiger ground is like gravel or rocks. the pores are larger and don't absorb water. If you dig deep enough, you will reach better surface, or you just remove a certain amount of dirt ( I don't remember the exact codes). then you replace that dirt that absorbs water with gravel and sand so the foundation doesn't sink.

    12 inches for a foundation, that’s a garden wall in the uk 3ft minimum even more with trees, nice to see exceeding code in my experience inspectors always appreciate a builder who does that

      @PerkinsBuilderBrothers  4 года назад +8

      Mark Clinton thanks for the comment... no need to dig deeper here... the site is notched into the side of a mountian, so we are already 20 ft below the original top soil. Also we are far south, the ground never freezes more than 2 inches. We are all about going above and beyond code as well for things that will make a difference.

We burried my baby boy in the backyard and made him a garden of stella flowers. I can never move now.

    Cane, you will never get rid of it. It has the worst root system there is. It will keep popping up until about the middle of June. You can easily cut down the new sprouts once a week. If you wait a month you will need to get the chain saw out. I would pick a new sight. Looking forward to the new build.
