Thank you for documenting the whole process, I've already watched a few of your videos. I'm going to be building something similar (small house with insulated slab-on-grade, PEX radiant tube). In the last video, you placed some nails to really define the corners of your house. Did I understand correctly that these measurements were then transferred to the batter boards? So if that excavator moved the batter boards, that would be bad? Is there a book that you can recommend that explains all these little steps? Thank you again for all the videos!
Haha yeah that would be bad but not the end of the world, you would just have to set them back up and resquare. I recommend Housebuilding by RJ DeCristoforo.

I'm noticing that Travis and your former boss are the heavy machinery heroes! Such a great job! I would hire Travis for sure
Haha true! He's a super good operator
Wow, found channel with construction from very beginning 💪
Great to hear! We have a playlist titled "Self Building Our Home" that includes all of the videos.
The soil didn’t look super rocky. I was expecting more difficulties.
I know, right?! Based on how our digging has gone in the past. We definitely lucked out!
Hey guys, greetings from Poland. Just found your channel, best of luck!

Good that you didn’t hit big rocks!
Well there were plenty of 2-3 footers but luckily no solid layer! All just big flat sedimentary field stones that are buried.
