" Bob Bevilacqua is joining us now and he started his. Heavy construction company back in the eighties here on the cape right yes yeah so. There's a lot of earth. Moving involved in developing a little -- acre site like Nestle. Yeah what what have you had to do and we have it started we had to clear all the trees remove all the stops. Strip all the tops -- Behind me over there we screened that all up so that big pile that's covered in those bright green weeds is actual loam that will be reused that's no longer be reused on the road shoulders and all the properties when they landscape when they do the final landscape -- And was that really useful as a good soil absolutely right way he's got we've brought in a screening plant we screened it all about a three quarter inch. Ago debris out of it and I itself. Perfect for through and then what about. Cutting in from the road and putting enormous black we've stripped all the clay out of the areas where it was pretty deep up in this area right here was pretty thick with clay. We stripped all that out we put it down and retention area over here received news that -- to build these berms yeah this is what's a little bit confusing we've got. We know all the different lots are. And there's a lot right over there on the right and then two more to the street but what's gonna be down in here this is our retention area for all the drainage on the road. It's all these characters there's no sewers on the street to take storm sewers this storm drains behind us here. And all the way down and they pick up the water the water runs from there down into this sediment tank this here yeah. That catches any grease or what have you in there and that are closest he's -- vehicles and actually spills out down into the bottom of that retention area. So that area that looks like a little pool -- pond base. You're creating that so that if there's excess water it's collected there exactly. But what about all this spring for enemy is this is all going to be a house lot right here with a pile of -- rafters. And this will be grade of this will all be built right up to the street level -- him and all sloped off that's going to be a huge amount of fill I mean how many cubic yards you're probably about. All 3000 yards of -- there -- worlds. You're gonna be able to get most of the material for filling from the other side of the site what we're. So far we've got all the material for the site from the other lots with cutting down some of the grades on the other lots. And taking that fill material to build this area around so I'll try to do this by using. Everything on site bring enough plant anything -- what about the road bed did did you have to bring in up a base we -- in a recycled concrete. Asphalt mix base for the road. Which we crushed up. The demolition projects and then across the street. We're looking at another how many lots maybe four there's. Three lots on this three on this side. OK and these are all 10000 square foot lots yes what did you do here just scrape them it was basically just stripped the topsoil off these and left them pretty much where they were how much time left before builders can start putting in foundations -- putting in foundations. Tomorrow probably ethics."
