- All right, moving right along with this project.
Be sure to check out part one and two
in the description below.
While you down there, be sure to like and subscribe.
We appreciate it.
Hope everyone is doing well and stayin' positive.
We brought the drone out again.
So most of this video will probably be from above.
I think it gives a different perspective of a job site.
I hope you guys enjoy it.
Let me know in the comments.
Still trying to master it,
but I think I got it for the most part.
So when pouring a concrete retaining wall,
you start with the footing first, circle back around,
and then pour the wall.
By doing this, it allows us to vibrate the wall
without it coming out at the bottom.
(gentle music)
So this particular retaining wall will have a board finish,
which pretty much means you will see
the imprint of the wood, which we use to form
as the finished product.
Be sure to stick around to the end
and see what it looks like.
So you guys know I'm always making fun
of the concrete plant sayin' they're on their way.
Well, I had to give it up to A-1,
they was on time.
Second truck is here with the final two yards.
You may notice my son is out there helping with the pump.
Let's just say he got a good workout for a 17th birthday.
I'm quite sure he will be asking
for some extra money later.
I can hear it now.
So on Instagram and you can follow us there,
couple of questions came up
about how do we remove our stakes for the retaining wall.
And as your boy, Montell Jordan would say,
"this is how we do it."
And whoever remember that song, leave a comment below.
Normally with our retaining walls,
you only finish the top of the wall only,
but since the top of the footing will be seen,
we have to finish this as well.
Ideally, this part would be buried.
And here we are finishing the top of the wall.
Nice and smooth.
Normally we'll give it a couple of days before we strip.
It's kind of crazy this day was no traffic in the Bay area.
So I got there kind of early
and got started till the guys came.
This part is pretty straight forward, remove the nails,
pick up any that fell on the ground,
remove the wall ties,
load the wood on the truck and repeat.
Just in case you haven't seen part one and two
here's a before and here's an after.
All right, so that wraps it up for this video.
We will be having a part four and five.
So be sure to subscribe and be the first one to see it.
As always, stay positive and remember,
it's cool to ask for help.
Bay area or Sacramento,
