Not a backhoe…
Not a mini excavator…
Not a deadhead…
Amazing 🤩
Your deck is uneven. Look suck
Extremely detailed and clear directions Allmy.Tips I accept even a child could design a shed using this shed plan. It spares you lots of time while building. What's more, the cost is mind blowing. I am excited!
Why not use a brick retaining wall? Never have to worry about rotting wood. Wood does look nice, just curious
TIM from Canada. It would be nice to have. Total cost. For this. And materials list.
I've seen 100+ similar videos. This by far was the best. Wow! Keep it up and you'll have 1M subscribers by 2023.
Man, I'm impressed. That's 10 out of 10 for me.
we can tell you just learned about dead heads lol great work tho
Lol… as a gardener I prefer the prior layout. Just needed to be updated.
How many 6x6x8 did you purchase for this project?
This was fantastic. So I want to do something very similar bit the hill I'm working with is about 20 feet high. Do I have to build a 20 for retaining wall. I don't need to extend my deck that far out but I actually wa t to .are the wall about half way up the hill. Can I do it that way.
love the detail here
I stopped watching at Mini Excavator.
f*@Kn" gorgeous bro! more more more
No disrespect but it looked better before the wall install. Structurally,your "deadheads" are useless as they have no foundations, even the rebar for the deadheads is useless as the earth they are trying to support will generate forward motion, they are supposed to retain but will become the product/force behind a land slide.
Probably wont happen at that level of structure but you probably shouldn't be advising others. (Good work, excessively complicated, respect due but structurally flawed.
Any idea how much this cost?
nobody else gave all the details needed. thanks
Hey you Abel to have a look and update what it looks like 1 year later for a video? I would like to see it and might be a video idea 💡
Wow ! Very knowledgeable!

Brent, BYOT what work pants are you wearing at minute 16:00 and also at 3:00 the pants at 16:00 look to be functional, durable, and of good quality. Thanks and Great Job.
https://youtu.be/NyZ9udzyyOg?t=1035 draining into the neighbors yard is a big no no.
That was an awesome informational video, now I have confidence to build a small retaining wall, I never heard of the dead head boards and that is an awesome idea, never heard of them because I am not a landscaper , retired police officer 😊
🔥
Finally, a YouTube video of merit. Well done. Great structurally sound work 🎉
