Rebuilding Retaining walls-Start to Finish

What happens here

Continue building the boulder retaining wall by placing additional boulders, primarily using the skid steer. The presenter advises against getting 'married to a stone,' meaning if a boulder doesn't fit well after two or three attempts, it's more efficient to select a different one. This maintains efficiency in the creative process of designing the wall.

Goal: Complete the remaining sections of the boulder wall efficiently.

it might be a good spot let's do the other side the birds are making a nest up in my profit i can't even finish it all right well one of the things that i want to say that was told to me by a very wise man his name was brian from aquascape he told me don't get married to a stone give it two three flips if it doesn't fit don't get stubborn with it move on and it's easy to get married to a stone you look at one and you think this one i was married to i was a hundred percent sure that this stone was going to match up on the opposite side of the door with that seat stone right there so they would frame that door didn't work had to pick a different one didn't give it too much time you just don't give it too much time because you'll get stuck in us in a rut but we're stuck in a rut right now you guys we got a lot of the stuff put in place but now it's time to grade and clean up and just start working the site and then we're gonna find where the details come in we're gonna find where we gotta add an extra stone here or there but if i just stay in boulder placement mode right now i don't think i'm gonna do it i think i need to come in here and start working this and cleaning it up and then not being afraid to grab a stone here or there and add it if i see fit or don't touch
