What happens here
After assessing the damage, the creator declares, 'This whole thing's coming out, brand new wall is going in.' The video then shows the commencement of the demolition phase. An excavator is actively engaged in digging behind and around the old timber retaining wall, indicating the removal of soil and the structural components of the failed wall. A worker is also seen manually assisting in the excavation and debris removal, demonstrating a combination of heavy machinery and manual labor for efficient demolition.
Goal: Safely and completely remove the old, failed retaining wall.
