Lay Interlocking Blocks and Install Drainage

video but here's a great example by over compensating on the drainage aggregate the entire wall now will weep there will be no water getting stuck in any one zone and therefore the drain tile should never actually function this is kind of a cool just top down that you see how we build these things all right so we modified our plant a little bit initially we were going to leave the remnants of this corner of the old timber wall in but we are going to get a little bit more grid in off of the corner in order for us to get it in at the length we want it to be this has to come out now normally it would be fine to to leave that in there there's a ton of dead men going back in there this wall was built extremely solid wasn't going to go anywhere so normally you can bury that stuff and to rot they need moisture air and sunlight and when you get timbers for example encapsulated in that hyper compacted soil where it's not getting access to any light or any oxygen they're not going to rot they'll get waterlogged like a son of a gun you dig run out they'll be weighing you know four times as much as they went in but they won't rot so it's normally all right to leave that kind of stuff in there and the only reason we're taking it out is so that we can get more grit in on our corner for extra stabilization so everything sam said what you need the three components moisture air and sunlight was accurate except you don't need the sunlight um but basically what i think he was referring to was meaning it's exposed to the element that's going to destroy your retaining wall much faster than if it's buried in dirt so what i was saying is when we build them in two foot lifts we flip the grid up then we put the dirt in we pack that in two lifts boom boom and then we roll the grid down and then we're ready to go for the next one so we build everything in two foot lifts hope that's clear we don't put two feet of dirt in we put one foot of dirt in and pack it well in this case they they're also sealing it at the end so we've you've seen before we had that monster packer in place that's what we use to pack but they seal the soil it's just weird but we like to seal the soil because then you can't get water wicking into the water this thing right here milwaukee's m18 caulking gun i love it i wish we had gotten it sooner all right so with these corner blocks you can't get pins in them just with how they overlap on the course below so we gotta glue them and uh we're gonna glue the…
