What happens here

The video begins with an overview of the existing backyard area, including a patio and walkway that was completed two years prior. The creator highlights a visibly leaning and unstable retaining wall, describing it as 'just falling over' and 'hanging loose.' This initial phase involves a visual assessment of the severe structural failure of the old timber wall, identifying the extent of the damage that necessitates its complete removal and replacement.

Goal: Understand the failure of the old wall and plan for its complete removal.

Tools and materials
