Lay Lower Wall Foundation

just means we gotta fix it so we're building uh we originally hired to build a terraced retaining wall and so you can see where tim's got the bottom wall in and then they're just digging out for the top wall i mean it's one of the things that zach was measuring there was to make sure that we keep the proper distance one of the things that guys tend to cheat on terraced retaining walls is instead of going through the process of getting engineering they put terrace retaining walls too close together now the rule is for the top retaining wall not to put a surcharge on the bottom retaining wall you have to take the height of the bottom retaining wall so if it's four foot and double it for the spacing between the terraces or have eight foot of terrace and that way you don't have any surcharge going from one wall onto the other wall and when you squeeze them terraces too close together you're actually putting more weight on the bottom terrace than you were if you just made it all one wall it's actually a worse scenario by snugging two walls too close together without compensating for it and that's one of the things that you see a lot of guys doing to get away from going and buying a permit going and having the expense of getting an engineer to sign off on it but ultimately it's probably the worst possible thing you can
