That piece of music was an inspired choice, because of the running water from what must have been a really heavy rain storm and that was just the right piece to relax after a long hard day’s working out in the rain.
As many said it is satisfying to watch a job that turns out as intended. Looks like a well made stone bridge and you barely see the plastic culvert.. Sound track has that old nostalgic feeling of western flicks.
In my hometown, there are many retaining walls and culverts made from burlap sacks filled with concrete. Seems that thi technology has been around awhile. 👍
Just came from part 1 video. Awesome job. :-) Tip: On both sides of the culvert make sure the bottom is covered/lined with stone or heavy gravel. Will avoid the soil being washed out and eventually dig under the culvert. Thumbs up.
Genius idea! I have a few similar situations on my property only smaller in scale thankfully. Stealing this idea as soon as I find the time. Thank for that great video.
Great idea. Now I know what I can do to move water all over the land from top elevation 😊 and grow flowers and moss on the concrete to bring back the natural look.
Nicely done and thank you for showing the finished retaining wall. I really like the look of it as well. Full-watch 👀 and a big Like 👍. Have a Merry Christmas.
A very tidy job. Just proves that all the armchair engineers who said “you shoulda used some rebar” from the previous video, didnt get it. It would have rusted out anyway, so why waste resource when what you have is sufficient for the job. Really nicely done.
great work but I'm bummed that it might eventually collapse. high water flow and no upright bracing... awesome idea though. if I ever put this cool way to use, I think sandwhich a stick of steel between layers or somehow pound sharpened steel down through before it's wet.. I dunno, but I like your channel and thanks for putting it out there man!
That's what I was thinking. Perhaps barbed wire between rows or thin, twistable wire carefully slid down vertically. Maybe make the wall double thick. Or even rebar back braces pounded into the ground first then stack the bags against them.
This is similar to what is called dry stone walling and in some cases can last several hundred years, some of the walls in the Lake District National park, in Northern England, were built by Viking farmers in the 900's and still going strong.
Looks like it’s working perfectly. This is the only one I’ve seen where someone didn’t just place the whole bags as is. Your way may be a little more work but must use less concrete. Another thought I had was you may have better adhesion between the bags using a single layer paper bag. Most store bought concrete are multiple layers.
Just imagine 10,000 years form now people will be amazed how this stone wall held up over the ages with our limited knowledge and only bronze age tools to cut through this hard rock. What will they think of us.
English are British, Welsh are British, Scottish are British. British denotes the fact that we come from the Island of Great Britain. That's kind of like saying a Texan isn't American.
@@LolFishFail yeah, but only the English would speak like that, so he is absolutely correct. We might be living on two small islands but our accents are totally different and use of the English language is very different in each country, England, Scotland, wales and Northern island.
Greetings from Thornton Colorado. Nice job. I need to build a short retaining wall about a hundred feet long. It’s on a grade with a privacy fence next to it. My question is about longevity. Has anyone had these walls fail? How long has this culvert retainer been in use now. Since my wall will never be seen, it’s even a better idea to go this route. Even so I imagine over time some folks stain the concrete also. Any thoughts or comments would be appreciated. Awesome music.
How many bags were used in this project - both brown bags and bags of quickrete? Thank you for this wonderful idea. It is functional and attractive. Well done.
Marih, thank you for your interest. This project took approximately 8 bags of concrete that were 80 lbs. ea. You can get the brown paper bags at the grocery store...they are small lunch bags that come 50 or 40 per pack.
Looks and works great but if you built a forum and mixed the concert you would not have used as much I can see that being an expensive thing to keep doing
I don't have pictures but this guy from up the road somehow sprayed or made thinner concrete and laid everywhere without forms and it hardened fine, which assisted in errosion
Spray it down with a water hose to get it to start setting. Just make sure that dirt is behind it so the water will not wash it out before it sets. Wish you well. Bon the builder.
I would like to see the core of those bag bricks. I don't see how enough water can penetrate to the core before a hard shell is formed preventing more water to harden the whole brick. Not saying it's a bad idea, I just wonder how much of that bag turns into solid concrete.
moisture tends to travel thru concrete so eventually the entire thing will set. Though depending on how thick it is, and how much of the time the outside is kept damp, it could be years or decades.
I live in the desert and we get about 6 inches of rainfall a year....I stacked a few bags of redi-mix behind my "tiny tack" shed and upon first rainfall of the season, about an inch of rain it was hardened like a solid brick in a bag so it will harden!!! Could you poke holes in the lunch bags after they are placed? Probably a stupid question....
Just wondering if you have an update? I’ve heard doing it this way eventually will fail… I love the look and easy project but worry it will eventually fail.
Nicest cement bag music that I’ve heard all.....ever!
This. I came to the comments for this. 😄
Right felt like lorda the rings

The sense of accomplishment must have been off the charts! Beautiful job!
I digg the project, the video, the music!! I can watch it all day!

Thumbs up.
very relaxing watching the water drain away along with the music.
great choice of music on all videos ! enjoyed watching Thank You! God Bless!
Thank you Diesel, I appreciate your kind comments.
this music was also used in the Casper movie.
Genius idea! I have a few similar situations on my property only smaller in scale thankfully. Stealing this idea as soon as I find the time. Thank for that great video.

Fantastic musical score and diy-able project! Merci Beaucoup Bon Le Builder!
best video I watched today. Very clever use of cement bags. Music and editing and camera work was awesome as well. Keep up the good work!
I can’t believe I just saved a drainage vid just to listen to the music repeatedly. 😂 Great pt1 also, by the way...
Beautifully done!
Looks really nice,congrats on that property..I like your entry gate.
Nicely done and thank you for showing the finished retaining wall. I really like the look of it as well. Full-watch 👀 and a big Like 👍. Have a Merry Christmas.
Music is sad! Reminds me of a war movie when someone is finally coming home or the war is over and seeing all the changes thats happened.
I do not no why??... but dat was very dammm satisfying to watch😁👍🏽
Awsum choice of music🤭LoL

Simple and beautiful work. Well done.
Perfect!!!! Nice work!!!
Best movie...ever!
Love the music! There was an awful lot of soil in that run off. You might try seeding a cover crop of clover in and around the ditch.
+Liz Spencer Thanks for you comment Liz, that is a very good idea.
They look really good

Great idea, thanks for the great video and idea
Well, here we are over 5 years later, how's it holding up? Would you do anything different? Loved both videos. Thanks.
Awesome job!!!
Excellent idea we're going to do something very similar thanks for the info
well done project
This is so satisfying. Did you do the other end at some point?
Nicely done and a big help to me. I have a similar project.

Such a Good Idea
When can we look for part 3? Wow that is a lot of water.
Only improvement would be to push some rebar stakes down through to tie it all together. Good job
You did all that work, you might as well put an Archimedes screw in that culvert and make some power! :)
Just imagine 10,000 years form now people will be amazed how this stone wall held up over the ages with our limited knowledge and only bronze age tools to cut through this hard rock. What will they think of us.
❤ I love the though if this
Perfect 😊❤❤❤
cool! thanks again!
Okay...as the English ( not British, ffs!) would say...dashed fine show, and a spiffing good job, old chap! Lol.

Well, I hope it holds up for you forever. With frost heaving here in Ontario, it would be completely gone in 1 year.
🔥Fine job sir👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Now you should do the other side too match...
Beautiful
Great video, how long did the bags take to root?
You have to plant something to help with that soil erosion ❤
On a wall like this, do you wait for the rains to activate the concrete or do you spray them with the sprinkler after the build?
I was just thinking that you could multiply the strength by spraying the bags with concrete glue between layers maybe?
Why do I feel like I'm watching " a river runs through it".....?

Do the bags, stick to together once set?? Like mortar.
Consider idea....STOLEN!...💜💕
Looks and works great but if you built a forum and mixed the concert you would not have used as much I can see that being an expensive thing to keep doing
Has the water ever ran so hard that the top of the road was breached? If so, how did this culvert work basically as a low water crossing? Thanks!
Would landscape block have been cheaper at .99 each? About the same size as the lunch bags and they interlock and can be glued together.
I don't have pictures but this guy from up the road somehow sprayed or made thinner concrete and laid everywhere without forms and it hardened fine, which assisted in errosion
Is there an update coming ?
How big are the bags?.......nice job!
Hi. How is this holding up? Thank you.
A 22-pound bag cost here in New Zealand US$6.25 …
should have 45° the road side.
Or a curve to the culvert
I live in Tucson where we get only get monsoon rains in summer and winter rains. How much water is needed to make this work? A complete soaking?
Spray it down with a water hose to get it to start setting. Just make sure that dirt is behind it so the water will not wash it out before it sets. Wish you well. Bon the builder.
I would like to see the core of those bag bricks. I don't see how enough water can penetrate to the core before a hard shell is formed preventing more water to harden the whole brick. Not saying it's a bad idea, I just wonder how much of that bag turns into solid concrete.

I was waiting for some Skyrim NPC’s to show up
Just wondering if you have an update? I’ve heard doing it this way eventually will fail… I love the look and easy project but worry it will eventually fail.
I would tap in few long rebars into them.
So, almost 5 years later... How is it holding up?
Due to bon the builders inactivity, I would wonder the same for himself…..
Well what is the music titled?
Definitely not Sandstorm. Lol.
So how has it held up?
i watch this for my OCD
По мне, данный пример является расточительством.
👍

I just asked that wall to marry me ...
Plant some grass there man
Very late comment...Have you "bricked" the other side to prevent cavitation and was out?
