This situation was honestly a danger before we stepped in 

What happens here

Heavy machinery, specifically an excavator, is deployed to commence the demolition of the old, leaning retaining wall. The excavator's bucket systematically digs into the surrounding earth and breaks apart the wall structure, which appears to be constructed from concrete blocks or similar masonry units. The process involves digging, lifting, and dislodging sections of the wall and surrounding soil. The narrator emphasizes that the 2x4 supports, which had been in place for approximately 10 years, are now being removed as the wall is taken down.

Goal: Safely remove the unstable and hazardous leaning retaining wall.

Tools and materials

  • 2x4 Wooden Supports — Temporary supports for the wall (being removed)
  • Excavator Takeuchi — Digging, breaking apart the wall, and moving debris
