The In-Law Suite Build Ep. 5 | Rock Base for Concrete Pad by Hand

In Episode 5 of our Granny Flat Build Series, the foundation work continues — and it’s back-breaking stuff. With the footings poured, it’s time to lay the rock base that will support the concrete pad floor for the extension. This might look like a simple layer of gravel, but there’s more to it than meets the eye. Caleb spends the day shoveling and leveling rock by hand to ensure the pad will sit at the exact height needed to match the main house floor level. It’s a lot of physical effort and precise measuring — no machines, just good old-fashioned sweat and a shovel. If you’re tackling your own DIY foundation prep or planning a home extension, this episode shows the kind of detail and elbow grease required to get it right from the ground up. 🪨 It’s not glamorous, but this stage is crucial. Get the base wrong, and everything above it will follow.
