    10:30 mark. Lesson to learn that I spotted. Gotta watch for power lines. That could have been catastrophic.
    Very nice job on the wall!!

    So happy when I started watching this and yall were using the proper size blocks for the job. Too many companies building huge walls with 12” blocks.. I did a 900’ wall 35’ high with the big broncos. A whole summer of work.

    We are putting one in with bigger blocks that have pins on the top like Legos. They are bigger than those blocks, and are just mage from the returned concrete at the concrete plant. We are out in the country so there's no inspections or anything, but there are a lot of these type walls in this area. Interesting to se how it is done in other areas!

    Very nice wall. Did anyone else notice that the side dump hit the overhead services wires? Maybe it was just overhead comm wires, idk. Regardless, nice wall. I like the steps.

    Well done 👏. I been looking that this days building retaining wall with big blocks is the new thing. Here where I work we're doing some natural cut stone block that weight between 2000 lbs. to 3500 lbs. Depending on the stone how dense can be.

  • @jeffc6832
    @jeffc6832 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    We only specify adhesive for the 6.5" caps or freestanding units...those 39T's don't need it. The fitting block is to adjust for the batter with the double outside corners. With each course the block is stepping back, the fitting block allows the returns to step back as well.

  • @dcwshoreline5416
    @dcwshoreline5416 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    These look like they would also work for shoreline protection. Base row most important to get right. When your stacking and re checking for level, what exactly on the bottom side were you cutting with the concrete saw? Also, if you were going to build a wall with these style of blocks 3 or 4 rows high, could you build it perfectly straight rather than angle it back if it was holding back a large bluff. Dirtmonkey Stan had a video about geotextile too behind walls and not fabric. Alot of questions but your a smart man!

    I'm surprised the Inspector didn't require a fence at the wall. Some kids playing back there will run right off the edge. Any deck 30" above grade requires a rail.
