Laundry vent and manual compaction


Had to do a little pvc work to get the vent for the laundry sorted out - it will run under the slab so we had to get it in before we finished backfilling. We are manually compacting the backfill as we put it down - it is close to sand in consistency and we are using a wheelbarrow to spread it. After each barrow we compact be walking/stamping on it and using a garden hoe to stamp it down. The process is quite lo-tech but I don't think we'd get a better result even if we used a plate compactor.
