Hey Scott, I watch your videos a while now and few days ago decided to watch from beginning. It is so amazing how diverse you building skills are!!!
I am sure that you spend much planning time, what is not seen on the videos. The accuracy is so impressing. I always wished I where a handcrafter like you or my brother, but I am more a desk worker and meeting hopper.
In my field I also gathered many different skills in various industries and jobs. Like you said several videos before, don’t stay in your comfort zone, always challenge yourself. I am surprised how similar our mindset seems to be, even we do totally different things.
I am only renovating my house privately and it is like an anchor of satisfaction to my work, since I am doing transformation projects for a big company, where results are seen in years later. But with my small kids now those renovation projects are less possible, so I enjoy watching you doing those things.
Watching your videos and listening to unexcited and calm way of how to do things, talk and deal with stress is just calming and inspiring me.
As soon as I saw the pvc connector i knew it was the price factor! Novacoil connectores are 50 dollars (placemakers) so great way to keep the cost down. Tidy work from you guys too, true professionals
But is it really?got to cover your own arse in NZ it's fucked h's etc are bs...
It's always worth putting an inspection point or two somewhere along the the drainage line.
That way if the drainage line blocks up with debris one day (which they generally do eventually).
You have easy access to put a jetter in the line to clean it out without having to dig or cut into the line.
Nice job. Love the hound on the digger 👍🏻
Great job Scott Brown. This is the only tutorial I could find online, nice and detailed
Great series. A real eye opener in how much work goes into a retainer.
Well done guys. Good to see someone paying attention to detail and thinking ahead !
Nice tidy work the bros, so good to see building work and drainage done properly!
That little dog sat on the digger made my day! Thanks SB. Great video as always
Always love watching your videos, Scott and co 👍🏼👍🏼
I had my doubts, but you delivered. Looks like one very solid wall that will last another lifetime. Looks great!
Just how satisfying was that to watch ! Excellent stuffs and it looks great. 🤙
I really like a crafts-man that are as thorough as you are.
I think that today it is far to many people that only go for price and not quality.
Love your videos :-)
All the best from Norway.
Great work! Good to see someone who is multi skilled and does a bit of everything!
Loved the dog quite happily sitting on the digger. Nice job guy's nice job..👍👍👍👍
Nice work. Clean chrisp and good explanation and example of a solid sturdy retaining wall.
Hope the customer was happy with it, looked great on video. And loved the pooch.
Nice work mate! I don't think it's overkill. It's how it should be. Diverting the water is probably the most important thing in the wall.
I'll tell you what... this is a job well done! Above and beyond what's expected, I'd say! Nice work!
It's good to see you guys clean up after yourselves at the end of your job(s).
Nice job Scott! Well done. Had fun watching it. Cheers!
Another nice looking well thought out job. Nice work Scott
Nice job bro and paerau, cheers from South East UK 🤙
Well done lads, that was no easy task. Love the little Jack.
Love the dog on that digger. Also nice job
Holy crapoly. The amount of digging, trucking, pole depth, concrete pumping, dpm PLUS coreflute, geotech and drainage that must have been a 20grand retaining wall!
Insanity, no other work on..
Looks nice, probably look even better once its planted with flowers etc.
Scotty and Master P. Job well done boys.
Very nice work mates! A good guide for constructing my own retaining wall, which will be timber but using galvanised steel H column as posts, and I then slide lengths of hardwood in between.
The polythene and XPS foam on the inside is a good tip, it keeps the timbers dry, the XPS does not only protect the polythene from the sharp corners of the stone, but actually should prevent condensation build up on the inside when ambient air temperature rises above soil temperature.
I use Bankirai wood, which is a bit expensive but should withstand the wet climate in the Netherlands well, this wood is used for building shore walls in streams and canals.
As I'm going to apply a tar coating on the inside of the wood the PE membrane shouldn't be necessary, but I still can put that XPS in as I have a couple of left over packs after insulating a floor.
Also a good tip on using standard PVC fittings to connect to the spiral hose, so I must be sure to buy a size hose compatible with PVC size ie 75, 80 or 100mm.
Btw, Auckland is a great city, visited NZ twice and would love to come again.
If you can do top notch work and still make a buck, there shouldn’t be any other way. Cheers from Los Angeles. Love the channel.
Great job you two, top quality every time in everything you do KUDOS 👍🏻
Another awesome job done well! Congrats! Love your channel bro!
Excellent job SBC...
Good to see it finished.
Came out awesome scott! I love how the dog just chills on the backhoe while the dude is Operating it 💯👊🏽
Ya that's so cool how he brings his dog with him to work like that.
Congrats on 52k! It's been 2k since my last congratulations!
always good to see Gaston, the tools Santa
That wall is mint!
Very high quality Scott nice
I guess an advantage of this job already having a decaying retaining wall was it made it easier to sell the work needed on the new one to make to better this time.
A lot of customers don't want to pay for things they can't see or don't understand the benefit of.
but why replace already rotted material with another one of the same composition? The problem with the original was that it was wood. The problem with this one is that it is also wood! If they did it right with concrete retaining wall block it would have been much simpler and last forever.
The original wall would not have been treated or concrete
There shouldn’t be not one 👎🏾 down . Who don’t like sbc his content is great he’s a very likable person , him and Paraeu are some cool ass dudes. He has made me wanna visit NZ! Anybody who would do that just is a hater by nature that’s all! Keep these videos goin . Much blessings to u and pareua by the most high lord and savior . May u be abundantly blessed sbc!
Nice wall cheers from North Carolina
keep up the good work guys more pareau and cameron!
Awesome job, well done.
This has got to be the nicest (and most expensive) wood retaining wall ever
Imagine getting the bill for this haha, damn I just wanted a simple retaining wall..
Nice work, I thought you were going to miss out the geofrabric and I was like nooooo!
s b, you always have the best tunes on TH-cam
Top job boyos cant wait for the nxt one ☝️
I'm pretty sure that Jack Russel knows how to drive that digger just like his master:))great video
Looks awesome great job
such an exciting episode !
Nice job pal 👍 turned out well would expect another one to do off the back of these vids
Damn, what an awesome job
Great video, really enjoying your honest videos.
Just as a question, how much time does setting up shots and talking to the camera add to a job?
Nicely done boys
Bloody beeautifulll!!!
🥓🍗🍺 x 💯 All your efforts have paid off - must be a great feeling. (At first I was like "what's this drainage tech style?! 😵)
I like the way you guys use plastic + white foam + the plumbing drain system to protect the wooden wall, but if i was you, i would use the 6” diameter or bigger size plastic pipe , and then pour cement + metal bar inside the pipe, use them as a post, replace those wooden posts, so it won’t get rotten or eating by termites . Anyway, good job you guys
110 drain flo will slot into 100 PVC joiners with enough pushing. 65 drain flo slots into 65mm Marley pipe (not the joiners, the pipe itself!) also with some pushing. Add Marley cement and some tape for good measure and it’s good to go!
nice work mate, looks good.
brilliant job
That looks dope 👌
Great job.
Dat mascot is the best!!
Great job bro 😁
great video!
A question: In a densely constructed residential area, if the lowest point in the retaining wall of your "elevated slab house" is at the fence you share with your back neighbour, what will you outlet of the drainage be?
👍🏻SBC. Great job & well built, 'many ways to skin a cat', I could not fault your method here. Im sure the client would be extremely happy.
A big congratulations on 50k subs.
Mean mahi bros 👌🏾🤙🏾👌🏾🤙🏾
5:12 such a good boy 🤩
Hey Scott nice video man
Very nice (the series).
U should use blue metal steel for drainage as well helps water fall straight into your agg instead of sitting dirt that holds moisture sands soils are also good
It seems is a bit cold over there isn't ? Here in Brazil is damn cold too that season of year ,i mean winter time ,some times get 4 degree below zero
Great job, guy and hello from belohorizonte city Brazil.
nice job
Nice work bro looks mean
Learned something! :-)
When doing drainage I chuck a couple of tek screws in the pvc joints to hold shit together. I wouldn't trust just tape.
Tools & Stuff Hows it going to move with the stone on it?
@@MrJFoster1984 So do you think you don't need to glue pipes either? There buried in dirt, they'll never move aye? I've seen plenty of pipes come apart underground.
What about slip joint pvc pipes no glue?
@@cameronrolston6099 pvcs different tho bro cause I dosnt flex as easy as novaflow/coil/nexas I'm not saying it's gonna come apart but the nova fitttings don't come off very easy! they have little locking tabs! trying to trace nova coil in a diggers not the go!as I'm sure you would know bro haha not fun times!!
Solvent weld at 3:30
Cute doggie!
Hi Scott, If you didn't cap the post would you cut them on a slight angle to let the water run off?
Biuro Scott 👍👍👍👍👍
Can’t you sleep bro. Early start, great project, it’great to see a well built RTW
Would the topmost retaining wall be benefited by a deadman anchor? If so, what kind of a deadman anchor would you add in it?
Did you chuck Scotia underneath the pipe only?
Or a layer on top also?
That symmetry
Hi Scott. How long do u think the drainage system will last for ??
Hey bro nice job you guys done there! Just out of curiosity what size novacoil did you use and what was the cost on the joiners? If you let me know I could price them up throw the company I get my stuff from! Like I doubt the joins would come apart but having "tried" pulling a proper coil joiner off the other day!"had to cut the pipe out of it" just thought I'd ask!as a business owner my self I see that sometimes you just have to spend/charge abit more to cover yourself! Just a comment bro I think you boys did a mean job just thought I'd mention it!
Hi Scotty, it looks like you've added some sort of tie backs @5:46. Any details? I'm revisiting some old videos as I've got a few retaining walls to construct.
Awesome videos! What's the white 'wall protector' material please? 1:50. Thx
A lot of work for a retaining wall, would you not be quicker with a preformed concrete wall with the land drain and clean stone behind it?
Where does the drainage eventually go and connect to, or just into the grass at a lower point?
it is indeed overkill with polyethylene and "Protector". Also and the geotextile does not need to cover the timber side. it only need to separate the scoria from dirt and mud on the side and top
Nice Video! Just wondering how much you get charge for this kind of job now a days?cheers
You are first guy what is using geofabric on retaining wall. Here in au people don't even know what is that for and what the geofabrick is. Maaan. First wall build proper way like from the book.
Wow the amount of work that went into that wall must of cost the customer a absolute fortune or you made nothing from it (looks like a job from hell) excellent job thought 👌
@Oxdard Oxdard You clearly know a big fat zero about timber treatment.
How much weight would this method of retaining wall take? I need to build a retaining wall in my garden but want to build a brick BBQ on the top layer....
First for a exciting episode
You've built a wood lagging retaining wall with 2 or 3x8 lagging. The lagging therefore has spaces each plank which is about 8 inches. Won't the water be able to drain out of the wall at the space between the lagging? Are you concerned that the gaps between the lagging will get clogged and prevent drainage?
there is a kind of dimpled plastic barrier that can go between the drainage material and the wall.There is also a school of thought that says the geotextile fabric itself will eventually get plugged.Does the drainage coil/drain have some form of "inspection point" to enable flushing the drain out/unblocking?.Love the way you describe what you are doing,and the real quality of your work
The only real risk of those points is the coil blocking. I forget the angle required for it to be self clearing but he had it only barely off level. But seriously, with the amount of scoria they had in there they really did not even need the drainage coil at all.
@@DiscoFang Tend to agree with you. I noticed also that the scoria backfill wrapped in geotech was almost to the top of the wall with about 200mm left for topsoil to grow some grass. So its not like there is much of a drainage impediment - no need for plastic imo
Hey SBC did u need a permit for that wall or because it's stepped does that takes away the permit issue?
I was wondering why the second/bottom wall was needed, since it appears the top one goes deep enough to take all the necessary load.
What Guage or thickness is the black polyethelne that you use to protect the timber?
