Hi from Melbourne Bill! Just wanted you to know that I’ve learnt so much from you and you’ve motivated me to do so many jobs! I’ve amazed myself and for a 58 yr old female I’ve also inspired my daughters who also do a lot of diy! Your vids are very detailed which I love! Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️😮

Pool and retaining wall look great! Hopefully you plan to put some trees and shrubs in at some point!

[@billshowto]

Definitely on my list of things to do including garden beds👍

[@josephjohn2585]

Thanks @Billshowto great video! Does the concrete need reo mesh? And did you start stacking blocks the day after concrete was poured yeah? Also, how deep was the concrete footing? Thanks so much, Joe

[@Daffodil956]

[@rizontherun9684]

Great work mate. I still don’t quite understand why we need to install the pipe

[@helenbantis9132]

hi, can you tell me what brand the blocks are. i seem to find the right size blocks but the cappings are always shorter in length i need the same size as the blocks. your job looks beautiful.

[@billshowto]

Tasman retaining wall blocks

[@RafaelPerez-le1mp]

Hi, I am an admirer of yours from Puerto Rico, I have a question, what model or type of block did you use in your project? Beautiful project again!!

[@billshowto]

Hi, all details are in the description 👍

[@byrny111]

You dont use mortar on the first course?

[@Transatlanticism04]

Good stuff man 👍🏻

[@billshowto]

👍👍👍

[@alimmaredia5143]

Where did you get these retaining wall bricks?

[@burntrubber5689]

Nice work mate! The only thing I could think of is how are you going to get a mower up there now? Lift it every time or are you going to have a little ramp?

[@billshowto]

Lol lucky the retaining wall is not that high. I may look into ramps or try out a robotic lawn mower👍👍👍

[@ramk88]

how high can this wall safely be built? like how many courses I'm guessing there will be a lot of force if you want to retain a 1m high wall with soil behind it

[@Bilal_El-Hassan]

Yeah Billy

[@elikhoury7307]

Are you located in Sydney? How to reach you?

[@vladmihajlovic2579]

Hi Bill! Thanks for another video! Question… you filled the bricks for drainage, but where do they drain out to? Just between the brick and concrete?

[@andrewcannizzo6080]

Hi Bill, Can you explain the aggregation line section? Because it is slotted ag. line, will it pick up all the water the flows to the back of the wall? If not, is it enough to only pick up most of the water and let the rest drain to ground? What would happen if you just left out the ag line completely, allowing the water drain to ground? I'm just conscious of water pooling top of the concrete (or road base etc.) Thanks for all your videos and advice - it has helped us immensely! Andrew

[@billshowto]

Hi andrew, the back section is on a slight slope and during heavy rain may cause water issues eg; pooling or over flowing into areas that I don’t want excess water going to. The blue metal will allow the water to flow freely down to the ag line ( slotted pipe) and will then redirect the water to the storm water connection.

[@andrewcannizzo6080]

Great thanks Bill

[@andrewcannizzo6080]

Hey Bill, Would you be able to do a video on forming up and pouring a footing?

[@tassie7325]

[@whatsdergo]

Looks a bit up and down lucky only two courses as the higher you go the worse it gets. Its very important that the first course is dead level which is the most time consuming part of building retaining walls but worth it in the end ,to do that on your job you should have used mortar to lay the first course as the concrete foundation is impossible to get dead level, also you should have run a string line on the back clean edge of the caps when laying them down don't rely on the rough face as they are all different as i can see the back edge is all wonky and it sticks out like dogs 🎱🎱 just giving you some helpful tips here cheers.
