What happens here

This is a critical step where you meticulously identify the specific technical problems contributing to the project's failure. The video highlights several issues with the retaining wall: 1. **Hollow Blocks with Plastic Clips:** Inspect the construction materials and connection methods. Hollow blocks joined by plastic clips indicate a potentially weaker structure. 2. **Lack of Geogrid Reinforcement:** Determine if the structure incorporates internal reinforcement (like geogrid for retaining walls) to withstand soil pressure. 3. **Surcharge from Failing Second Wall and Aggressive Slope:** Identify external loads. An aggressive slope or another failing structure above can exert significant pressure on the project area. 4. **Poor Drainage:** Check for signs of water pooling or improper water flow behind the structure, which can lead to hydrostatic pressure and erosion. For a DIYer, this requires careful observation, possibly some minor excavation, and research into common failure points for the type of project you are undertaking.

Goal: Pinpoint all underlying causes of the project's issues.

Tools and materials

perspective, we just we need to know what we can and can't feel comfortable saying to to prospective buyers so that they don't feel like they're being handed a bill of good. Got it. We want them to feel that way when we don't want. I wouldn't uh leave them feeling that way. Okay. Well, here's what I do. be feeling that way ourselves, right? So, here's what uh here's the way I do it. It's $200 to have me come out to your site. I do I do a field measurement. I come up with solutions, whether that's an engineered retaining wall reinforce with geogrid or whether we go with other methods where we do a gravity wall, but then we change the batter on the wall and we deepen the drainage zone to compensate for it. I document every single step of the process. I put that into a written proposal and I turn that over to you. Now, if you decide that you want to go forward with the project, the $200 estimating fee comes right out of the total of the job site. If you don't want to go forward with the project, I still get to keep the $200 for my services, for my time, for getting everything put together for you, and to create something that you can move forward with, turn over to someone else, and help you sell the house. That sounds like a like a uh a reasonable thing. let me talk to my wife to find out is as how she feels about that. I'm particularly interested in in getting this resolved. So, uh and we do have uh uh some very interested buyers on on the line and we don't want to have them walk away. Like I said, I do a very comprehensive measurement of everything. I do an analysis of where your wall's currently at. I can also give a projected life expectancy of the wall and its current situation if that will help. Now, I don't put a guarantee on that part of
