LOL 😂 @randyms3830 the weather sure can be weird here. Are you from the northeast?

@@GoodTroubleHome yeah northeast pa

I’m not familiar with that @TheAnnoyingBoss doesn’t sound good though

@@GoodTroubleHome its like chinas skyscrapers built out of styrofoam and paper maché. theyre all emoty because chinese people are scared of living in them

I have so many projects going on and editing videos takes so long @brandonjensen2250 I was shooting for a follow up video in October. I have some footage but I want to give people some tips and suggest what we would have done differently. It turned out ok. It could have been better but it’s doing exactly what we needed it to do.

Hi @s.h.6858 👋 we only had that problem once. Our 6 year old was carrying his hotwheels track into his room and rubbed it on his door. Easy 2 minute fix though. 9 doors, 3 years and only 1 problem. You could probably cut a 45 degree angel on the ends and see if you like that look. It may ease your mind

Totally agree @va52pc that’s a fantastic price. Good work by you 👍🏼

Hi @PaulGossett-i1j the wall is 38 feet long and 2 feet high. When it was all said and done, we used 156 bags. What do you think, good idea or bad?

Whatever works @knotallthere66 😂

There are and I feel like we have 20 partially used tube laying around @tylerstewart8917 might as well use them for something productive 🤷🏻‍♂️

Glad we could expand your vocabulary @SWSimpson 🤣 and teach you about holes

No matter how many times I measure a ceiling receptacle @Ermitragelford I’m always off a bit and there’s no patching this paneling. Wanted a different way so we turned to Globulation 🤷🏻‍♂️

Is that good @JefferyGrant8116 also does it scale up to +10? Regardless, I think I may get T-shirts made that says that but I need to know more 🤔

We are both from Philly 🥊 @UniquelyUbiquitous-yg3xl maybe I do need a montage for the update video 😂

It kinda sounds scientific @jakaz77 this brings her 1 step closer to a PHD 😂

That was on the list of ideas. Believe it or not @Streetpreaching7 a tractor trailer load of dirt and grass seed would have cost more. Also the driveway was new and I didn’t want a bunch of traffic on the soft asphalt

😂 this happens every time I do unscripted videos with her @albinorhino1313 now I’m just hoping it’s spelled right lol

I’m hoping to post a follow up video around October @brandifit1447 we had a lot of projects going on this summer. I do want to show people some things we did wrong and what I would do differently. Also a price breakdown to show how much money we saved 👍🏼

@@GoodTroubleHome thanks!

If it wasn’t for the sale and coupon that saved us $250 we would have bought the Suncast @jayryan7473 both very good products. After bolting ours down we’ve had no problems besides a little water just inside the doors 👍🏼

Getting there @AV-qr6wf it was a busy summer and we have another house that we’re rehabbing. Trying to get that on the market before house prices start dropping in this area.Hoping to have an update video out in October 🤞🏼

@@GoodTroubleHome I feel you on that one. I'm in the Northeast as well, and prices are hyper inflated right now.

I don’t know how kids graduating college will ever afford to pay off their school loans, pay for a wedding and then buy a house 🤦🏻‍♂️ feels like a huge mountain to climb @AV-qr6wf

Hi @paulbetka6477 it’s actually been about 2 years now. That was one of the first videos I started. Took a while to edit and post. We used 8-10 of rock for drainage and then backfilled with soil. I will be putting out an update video in October showing some things that we would have done differently 👍🏼

Yes 💪🏼 @fssparky we put rebar through every row of bags and backfilled with 8-10 inches of rocks for drainage and then soil. I will be putting out an update video in October showing some things I would have done differently

Exactly @deanevangelista6359 that’s what made me think of this originally. My dad put a couple leftover bags in his garage, out of the elements, and they were rock solid 3 months later. After a couple Google searches I decided to take the chance 💪🏼

Yes @calholli there was a little extra in the beginning. Probably lost viewers in the first couple minutes. Still working on my editing skills and storytelling 🤷🏻‍♂️

🤣😂 leave it to the 12 year old to put you in your place @ohyeahthatsright3155

@@GoodTroubleHome YES AMEN! On camera or in a crowded room, they will do it.

Yes @russbroomell4605 i rethought that idea and how destructive roots could get in the future. I went with a hydrangea bush instead. Good advice 👍🏼

That’s the plan on the other side of the house @Missmartini2024 this side was kind of a trial and it worked really well 👍🏼

Good advice @Hammer.J.Helmer I didn’t have a tamper when I originally started this project but I do now. I’ll have to give it a try 💪🏼 thank you!

Great advice all around @texasgemtree I actually planted Limelight Hydrangeas in that area and they’re thriving. Didn’t research it ahead of time, just like the way they look 🥰

@@GoodTroubleHome Sweet!

🤣😂 that’s funny @greggreg2263 glad you liked it!

This wasn’t my first video that I posted but is was one of the first that I recorded @bobjoatmon1993 I’m not the best video editor and I’m trying to work on being more natural in front of a camera. Getting better every day 🤷🏻‍♂️ hope the 1.5 still made it somewhat enjoyable

@@GoodTroubleHome FYI- Some people like long videos, I, like a somewhat different group, watch for learning stuff and and want the topic covered in 12 to 15 minutes (but the KZbin video 'shorts' are TOO brief and I don't bother with watching them, they can't cover much) so that I can go watch several more in the time a long one takes. Then there's the videos that cover obvious stuff in excruciating detail or those that repeat the message time after time.... Are there really people watching that don't get it (whatever 'it' is) and need that? Sad if true. Or sometimes it seems that there's creators that actually do repeat in real life (not to be political but Trump annoys the F out of me with his repeating and repeating, I heard what was said the first time, I don't need it re-enforced by repetition) and I see that as they don't have their thoughts gathered and need to repeat to both make sure they did get the point across (questioning themselves, "did i say it right? I'll say it again") or to give them time to figure out the next thing to say. If I heard it once, I 'got it' and don't need to hear it again. So I like clear, concise presentation which usually takes preparation by a creator. Few can do 'off the cuff' without a lot of (self or coached) training BUT being aware of the issue starts the path to improvement

@bobjoatmon1993 getting better everyday! Thanks for popping in the comments!

I wonder if they sell just the tires separately on their website 🤔 thanks @76beergut1 I’ll have to check it out. Do you have the one with inflatable tires?

You’re right @USMC1984 it was an option and the cost was about the same but then I would have the weight of a concrete truck messing up our newly paved driveway. The other option was paying a crew to do it and that’s where the price got out of hand 🤌🏼

Thank you @JB-bs1se it was really fun. We really do work well together even with all the bickering 😂

I’m hoping this wall is immortal 😁 @owomushi_vr

That’s awesome @kk4649k How tall was the wall you guys built? When we started this project the bags of Quikrete were a dollar cheaper than they are now but I don’t think they’re going back to that price ever again 🤦🏻‍♂️

@@GoodTroubleHome not that much taller than yours. i say around 5' or so in height and 20' or so in length. We did it a little different though. We mixed the bags by flipping it over few times to get the inside content to mix as much as possible, then after every row we watered it and then pressure washed the bag paper off the following day or whenever we worked on it again. Took us a while but he had to work almost every day so we did it after he got back and one row was all the time we had. I live in hawaii now and last i checked 80lbs bag of quikrete is $14.... my parents live in Georgia so the price difference really hit me hard. hahah

Im in the same state of mind as you. I really want to do this, but prices are just too high right now.

I love that method @kk4649k did you guys use any rebar? I can’t believe that concrete is that expensive there 😳

How much are bags of concrete in your area @13ghosts50 ?

I’m glad this method worked for you @texasgemtree sorry that hurricane hit you guys and took out your shade 💪🏼 You sound like a fighter, love it…stay strong!!!!

@@GoodTroubleHome Yep, fighter. My attitude is, Why pay for it if I can do it myself? It keeps your brain sharp and helps keep the body working into our older ages. Thanks for reminding me of the option. I have a two trees down in my yard that I will be attacking later. Hope FEMA helps more. I will be looking for the Diablo blades. * grin *

I’m sure you’re an inspiration down there in TX @texasgemtree keep up the hard work. I hope FEMA gives you a helping hand

Cinder blocks are about $2.50 each. We would still need concrete and rebar to keep the blocks together and make it strong @AB-ot3bc we wanted a more rounded look on this wall. After I take a torch to that paper it will look awesome. A follow up video will be out in October so you can see the finished product and cost breakdown if you’re interested 👍🏼

I just spent the week at the beach and I am a horrible sand castle builder 🏖️ @patrickosium733 what part of the build are you skeptical about?

you are clueless.

@@GoodTroubleHome great reply. The guy is a dipshit.

Believe it or not @52ace1 it was way cheaper than hiring a contractor. We got estimates between $5,000 and $10,000 to build a retaining wall. This DIY cost us less than $800. I will put out a follow up video in October with a cost breakdown and update on the project 👍🏼

How do you like it? @hanstokke9950 inflation has hit on all fronts. I believe the sticker price was higher than $999 when we got it but it was on sale and we used a coupon so we saved a good amount.

There’s a 6 foot round culvert running under a driveway in our neck of the woods @blackout7615 They used this method and it’s held up for at least 17 years since I’ve lived here. Hopefully this can hold back a few rocks and some dirt. I will certainly do a video on it if it does fail though…so others know what to do differently 👍🏼

Thanks for the comment @user-pwfus we actually got an estimate for multiple solutions. Cheapest being $5,000. We made this wall for just under $800. We’ll be putting out a follow up video in October and you’ll see how we filled that gap between the bags and driveway with rock and dirt. Topped off with a bunch of landscaping 🪨 it’s solid

So glad you enjoyed the video @MRSALG what do you think about the build? Good idea or bad idea 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♀️

Are you suggesting that we make a wall out of old tires and gravel @eduardonieto2355 we have thought about making a climbing hill for our kids using that method

Good contractors are hard to find these days @20truck The good ones are overpriced and booked so far in advance. We could have taken the driveway guys to court and spent the next six months in court and hundreds of dollars in legal fees or just fix it ourselves. And since we love a good DIY project, it seemed like a no-brainer.
