our TALL WALL is Plagued with Problems

What happens here

The construction of a concrete block retaining wall is depicted, with workers meticulously laying blocks, installing geotextile fabric, and backfilling with gravel. The process emphasizes the layering of materials and compaction to ensure structural integrity. Workers are seen using shovels, rakes, and a plate compactor to prepare each layer, and the role of geotextile for stability is highlighted.

Goal: This step details the sequential process of building a retaining wall, involving concrete block placement, geotextile installation, backfilling with gravel, and compaction.

now in full disclosure blades direct sent us that box of blades and didn't ask them to do it they didn't ask me to show them but the reason they send them to me is because also in full disclosure i have probably bought tens of thousands of dollars in blades from them in the past before i was ever on youtube i was a die hard customer of theirs and what i would do is i would buy these 12-pack bundles that they sell and i'd get a free chop saw and about the time i wore through those 12 blades the chop saw would be fried because chop sauce fry out and you're gonna see it they fry out fast um and they just wear out and things break on them this mm4 series they got like a blower and the cutoff saw and some other stuff but they run off of gas there's just regular not mixed gas kind of funny thing is is we got uh blaine made the trip down the stands to grab uh uh what was it two steals that we had you know for the actual backup saw one of them had the busted like frame on it so it was just not cutting all flopping around and then the other one the arm was bent on it so the blades wasn't spinning so we're using this long story short but we need a new blade on it so we're going to do that real quick and then obviously you're changing these they're directional a lot of the times they got you know a little arrow on them these ones that's on the on the sticker uh you know if you're not using one of these and you're changing a blade sometimes they'll have it you know up here and whatnot ah that's one that's gonna need that little adapter piece now this isn't a two-stroke saw this is actually runs on pure gas and this is one of those few saws that you can flip all the way upside down and it'll still run i don't know why they have it as a backup to a backup i think it's a pretty good saw right out of the gate no mixed fuel to mess with but we broke both of our steel saws this summer already tim bought a big steel ts i don't know it's a monster one right and then we had another steal and both of them are shot sam the only reason our husqvarna still works is because sam babies it like it's his own grandchild or something so i don't get it he loves that saw then i really like these sure cans honestly bro anybody that's ever used them will tell you that they're the best gas can you can buy that's nice because you know anymore all these gas cans got all those crazy safety features on because kids start kept burning themselves up but there's a real nice nice and easy to use do…
