I thought i'd start a new thread of my sawmill shed build... So, i got started by pushing the sod off the spot where i'm going to put up a roof over my sawmill... It won't go up real fast, but at least i'm getting a started on it!
Next, will be putting some sand down to bring it up to the grade i want, so i got started digging sand with my loader tractor,
I have my own sand pit, but the sand is "fine" sand, my friend up the road a ways, has "course" sand, and that's what you need under a slab...
Once i had some sand hauled, i compacted it in, using the tractor tires for the "packing". I'll put water on it when i'm done, to settle the sand even more...
And, with all the sand in place, i once again used my tractor to "pack it", one more time.
I'll let this "pad" sit a while, before giving it it's final "leveling", adding more sand where needed...
