- All right as with any retaining wall,
one of the main parts (hiphop instrumental music)
to it, is rebar.
Since we in Cali, we're gonna need a lot of it.
I hope everyone is doing well. staying positive.
We made it,
2021.
Besides using it for the retaining wall,
you also can use it for a workout.
But this project we ended up using a ton and a half
and number five rebar.
Everything is 12 inches on center.
Each project is different
so attention to detail is key here.
Inspector really brings out their ruler
and look for things when it comes to this rebar.
So since this is a nice size retaining wall,
we brought out the Fastcut 600.
And this is both a rebar cutter and bender.
It weighs about 200 pounds.
We normally bring this out when we go into what I call
production mode, instead of a rebar table,
where we're gonna be doing a lot of cuts, a lot of bends.
You quickly get to test your division skills
that you learned in high school.
Trick is to maximize each 20-foot piece of rebar.
We ended up cutting 160, four foot pieces
for the double mat rebar for the footing.
Ended up cut 85 with the guys called Steel Candy Canes.
Now this goes from the keyway
up into the retaining wall itself, about two feet.
And then we also ended up cutting 85 L's
sometimes called verticals.
We always test our first vertical
make any adjustments if needed.
If not, we just get to installing them.

Now that the verticals are installed,
we add our horizontal to complete the rebar cage.
Again, everything is 12 inches on center.

This is part three, of five videos for this project,
you can check out one and two in the description below.
While you're down there, please subscribe to our channel,
so you can be the first one to be notified
for part four, part five.
Part four will be us framing the front
and pouring the concrete,
and part five will be us installing the drainage.
Now here's 12, 13 pictures of rebar
that was installed for this project.
I think it'll give you a nice perspective on the detail
and how neat it is.
And this is what the inspector likes to see.

So we appreciate you guys time.
It's 2021, let's make it a positive year.
Remember, it's cool to ask for help.
If you're in the Sacramento Bay Area hit us up
we'll be glad to come out to give you a free estimate.
Other than that, make it a good one,
and see you on the next one.
