As a fulltime marine contractor, its pretty cool to see a homeowner come up with a solution to up the structural stability of their wall! Awesome work, Can tell you take pride in it!
Is there anyway I could reach out to you? I'm green and just starting out in this field. I'm a hand and I want to succeed. Sadly I'm not getting much many pointers atm on what I can do during the process. We have alot of projects that aren't shoreline related and I just want to be ready to be the best hand I can and show growth. I want my superiors to be able to count and rely on me and I understand its alot of responsibility and thats why I want to be ready
Had lightning strike my folks bulkhead and it literally fried and melted a few of the tie-back rods. The rods are 5/8-11 stainless steel and on one piling it compromised the washer where the nut recessed into the washer allowing the piling the shift out probably two inches. Currently in the process of repairing it for them. Good job on your work and thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for posting this video! You have given me hope that I will now be able to rebuild a long bulkhead that we would never be able to afford paying a company to do. We have about 1000 feet to do so if we can do even half of that ourselves it would protect our land and our nestegg. I see you added the metal pieces, how do you get them down into the ground or didn't you? Did you just attach them to existing wall but not sink them into the muck? Thanks in advance for the info.
90K that is robbery. I guess they just wanted you to bend over and take it. Good for you doing it yourself. I live in south Louisiana and thinking of buying a house that needs the bulkhead replaced. They say the price was lowered because of it and the estimate is 38K to replace.
Good job. When I first purchased my house I was taken advantage of by a contractor. I regret it deeply but the lesson I learned was priceless.
