I personally prefer you talking. Hearing your ideas and thought process. Your explanation as to why you chose the way you decided to go that way. Great video Dalton.
Nice video Dalton. Must have taken some time to put together, but at 70 what do I know! 😀. It’s nice to see the project straight through but I like the comments along the way also! 👍👍👍👍
Well. I like the video. If you really want to go for some extra points, apply a filter to the video and make it black and white (grayscale) with no talking. Watching videos adjusted B&W, no audio is like you have been sitting on a tractor all day with a droning on noise and at the end you are rewarded with a silence that brings on a relaxation and clarity. A sudden weight off your shoulders. It really makes it easier to focus. 🙂 I work alone almost exclusively and after the first year or so of silence it became a huge labor to revert back to explaining vocally to others what I was doing. Keep moving forward. Great content.
🌹Dalton, although I had previously watched you work steadily on your retaining wall and marvel at your perseverance - and very often feel really sorry for you and all the strain you put on your shoulders and neck carrying those heavy beams ...... It was only now, since having watched the whole project in its entirety that I can fully appreciate the enormity of this job. You accomplished an outstanding achievement - and you did it all alone - I am so very proud of you.🌟⭐ Being a part of your projects as you progress, enables us to go along with you. Thank you for that. But once the project is complete then I think it is a brilliant idea to do a video like this one showing the job from start to finish without any narration. Very well done.👏🌹
Since we watched the series I put it in the screen and let it play so you got credit. I did other things while it played. Honestly we love you talking but will watch (or play) however you put the video out. Great Wall regardless!! 😊
From Steve in MD--Great compilation video of the start to finish! Did you document your time and materials so you can track your hard work??? It would be neat to do that on your projects and you can look back as you improve the property and watch the value increase.
This might be called bonding! You are really getting to know this wall! It was your work in progress for weeks! It came out very well and something to be really proud of! It gave you the important driveway you needed for your reno work! Good job all around ( never mind great video for the channel!)
Yay! I was hoping you'd post a compilation video of the build. The end result is beautiful! I'm really looking forward to see all the coming videos on the house renovation😊
This is great for anyone wanting to learn what it's like to build railroad tie retaining walls. You even left in that stuck drill bit, which could be helpful to someone. I admit that I sped it up though. (I've watched each one from the start.) You are methodical and very careful at the job. All in all, this was one tough project.
You are the better thing than a perfectionist - you are a get it to where it is good enough for what you need and STOP. Perfectionism is the enemy of good enough!😎
Honestly, it was hard watching you do all that work again. It's so hot here and I dreaded just hauling all my groceries in the house. Long day shopping. And I forgot my 10 bags of brown mulch. 😮
@@marlenegearon4709 haha i’m not sure. I got a lot of requests, and a few people have commented saying they prefer this. But it seems like most people don’t

My dad and mom built the same kind of retaining wall at our home in. N.C. It is still there 35 years later. Good job young man!
I’ve seen them all, and loved it.
You did great. 👍👍🤗🤗👍👍

@@Larry-325 this video probably took longer to edit than any other one i’ve done! Besides maybe the q&a. That one took a few days also

@@patvaneyssen it was more work than i expected for sure, but so worth it in the end! I have enjoyed the extra driveway space so much so far
This momma is so proud of what you have already accomplished.
Your work ethic is refreshing.

Well I really really appreciate that level of support! Thank you so much!
Why do we love this channel so much?

@@pepesdad1 yes i did. I’ve been thinking about making a video breaking that down also

Me too. 😊
Nice footage of the labor. It’s a relaxing watch
Talking is better than just video

It turned into a long video for sure, but that was kinda the idea. Glad TH-cam has the speed adjustment options! Thanks for the supportive comment!
so proud of your work details are handled

That is definitely true! Haha

I dread carrying my groceries in more than any other task i do lol
Great video but I too prefer the taking too 🌹
Hell of a job dude.
Oh oh, I'm glad you did twist your ankle stepping in that hole 😅 15:58
As great as this video is, i gotta say i do miss the talking. Your wall and deiveway look great now, but i bet you are glad its over with
Did someone help you with the filming or did you have to stop and set up all those shots yourself?
@@susanlee2660 i’m 100% solo. All the work, the filming and the editing
Seriously, why??? If they don't want to hear you talking all they have to do is turn the volume down all the way!!!

Yeah don't do that again, It's weird
Haha it felt weird to me too, but a lot of people requested it. I felt like a mime
