What happens here
This project chronicles a homeowner's experience dealing with a building inspector's request to expose the geogrid and drainage aggregate of a retaining wall five years after its completion. The project involves verifying original permit requirements, presenting archived construction footage as proof of proper installation, carefully excavating a test hole to physically expose the buried components, and successfully negotiating with the inspector to pass the final inspection.
