I feel like I keep repeating myself You guys are killing it, can't wait to see it finished.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

We appreciate it every time my friend 🥰

Grease gun the tubes always build up air pockets when they reach about half finished even with batter grease gun so the only solution is spend half the tube then chuck new one in

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

This was a totally fresh tube 😭😭😭

Incredible work - why no geo between the 57's and the soil?

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thanks! After amending the soil I like to compact 57s into the sub grade until it’s super solid…when that’s needed it makes more sense to me for geogrid over a soil separator

[@spider-man910]

Compacting the soil will slowdown water drainage it is best to garden rake the soil ....Compacting should only be done after you have laid down your 3/4 inch chip stone the water will drain much easier. .....

[@philipbenson8644]

Do you ever add any chemicals to the stone to stop weed growth, also this looks great

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Thanks a lot my friend! Nope, only thing that will deter weeds is a quality joint fill material

What is the little Gizmo with the wire and the stick. I get the use of a transit, but what does that do

[@michaelaasen5397]

It's a Zip Level. Great for measuring/setting elevations quickly. They are quite accurate and can replace the transit in some instances.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Yup it’s a zip level…pretty cool tool but for things that need to be dead on I always use a laser

[@ozziestrom9793]

Nice jacket, Amazon?

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

Costco!

[@damstr8345]

Grease zerk (nipple) could be bad. Not taking grease. Or air lock in the tube. Just about all that couldgo wrong.

[@THEpremieroutdoor]

I don’t know but it makes me go ber zerk, that’s for sure
