Sheesh Frank..! I am no dirt compaction professor, but I do watch a lot of UA-cam videos sittin here in my recliner with my coffee cup (hahaha!), but I could see the poor soil right off the bat. Can’t hardly believe that passed, all that junk mixed in…, man..! Your comment to “the dude” about another bench, was money well spent. Hope the powers that be are watching. If you had not dug another bench, and “shite” happend (as we all know can happen), there would have been a whole lotta hell to pay for it. “the dude” made the right decision to follow your suggestion(s). Good on ya man. Your comment on the on that last bench wall being crooked.., it may be.., but it ain’t sloppy. Looks great..! Great video, Thank you sir.
Same would happen on this side of the pond too, Frank. Most people would call those benches, sloped sides are called batters..... and we are expected to have all the benches in place, no compromise 🧐 definitely needed them due to the soil conditions. Decent sized hole there by the time you finished up !
I dug an elevator pit by hand “once” 8 x 8 x 8 as a young man in 100% compaction. It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life. It’s still there, in the ground, never to be seen again.
Frankie, I’ve been on a few bucking horses… never voluntarily though! Would I do it today? Nope. My brittle old bones would snap like an icicle. 7’ deep footings? Nope that’s at least a legging.
