It was a BAD TIME for this building inspector to show up.

What happens here

Unload pallets of Versa-Lok retaining wall blocks from a flatbed trailer using a skid steer equipped with fork attachments. Carefully maneuver the skid steer to lift each pallet, ensuring stability and safety. Place the pallets in an accessible staging area on the property, ready for construction. This step requires precise operation of the skid steer to avoid damage to materials or property.

Goal: Transport retaining wall blocks to the job site and place them in a ready-to-use location.

that and if we have a footing up here and the base of our wall needs to be down here we can undermine the wall or we can undermine the footing so we've got to be very conscious of where the footing is at all times all right um we excavated our wall out sounds good and um found right here this uh in minnesota here you gotta have frost protection so this is a walk-out basement and the footing goes all the way down here but then steps up right there which means that's right at the ground level so if we were to put our wall where we want to put our wall by backing it up that doesn't give it enough frost protection here so change of plans we have to go back out out into here with our with a with a two-tier wall system in this section just to protect that frost footing all right the block has arrived frost this is going to be a seven foot tall wall so we would have plenty of frost protection we only need four feet but we need frost protection both vertically and horizontally and if we put the wall here and the frost footing is over here and it's not with it's it's too close within that four foot zone we're not going to get frost protection sideways so when we're building a wall we're taking into consideration not just horizontal frost protection or up and down like from the top down but also from the side as well and so to build this wall and to do it right everything has to get moved out [Music]
