    It's always worth putting an inspection point or two somewhere along the the drainage line. That way if the drainage line blocks up with debris one day (which they generally do eventually). You have easy access to put a jetter in the line to clean it out without having to dig or cut into the line.

    As soon as I saw the pvc connector i knew it was the price factor! Novacoil connectores are 50 dollars (placemakers) so great way to keep the cost down. Tidy work from you guys too, true professionals

    Hey Scott, I watch your videos a while now and few days ago decided to watch from beginning. It is so amazing how diverse you building skills are!!! I am sure that you spend much planning time, what is not seen on the videos. The accuracy is so impressing. I always wished I where a handcrafter like you or my brother, but I am more a desk worker and meeting hopper. In my field I also gathered many different skills in various industries and jobs. Like you said several videos before, don’t stay in your comfort zone, always challenge yourself. I am surprised how similar our mindset seems to be, even we do totally different things. I am only renovating my house privately and it is like an anchor of satisfaction to my work, since I am doing transformation projects for a big company, where results are seen in years later. But with my small kids now those renovation projects are less possible, so I enjoy watching you doing those things. Watching your videos and listening to unexcited and calm way of how to do things, talk and deal with stress is just calming and inspiring me.

    Great job Scott Brown. This is the only tutorial I could find online, nice and detailed
  • @pappas1000
    Nice work mate! I don't think it's overkill. It's how it should be. Diverting the water is probably the most important thing in the wall.
  • @curtno5665
    I really like a crafts-man that are as thorough as you are.  I think that today it is far to many people that only go for price and not quality. Love your videos :-) All the best from Norway.
  • @56floorer
    I guess an advantage of this job already having a decaying retaining wall was it made it easier to sell the work needed on the new one to make to better this time. A lot of customers don't want to pay for things they can't see or don't understand the benefit of.
  • @drp934
    That little dog sat on the digger made my day! Thanks SB. Great video as always
  • If you can do top notch work and still make a buck, there shouldn’t be any other way. Cheers from Los Angeles. Love the channel.
  • @harrygirgin9093
    Great series. A real eye opener in how much work goes into a retainer.
  • @DebsHill1
    Love the dog on that digger. Also nice job
  • @DiscoFang
    Holy crapoly. The amount of digging, trucking, pole depth, concrete pumping, dpm PLUS coreflute, geotech and drainage that must have been a 20grand retaining wall!
  • @dazzhan9826
    Well done guys. Good to see someone paying attention to detail and thinking ahead !
  • @zakkbranks6489
    Always love watching your videos, Scott and co 👍🏼👍🏼
  • @50guitar
    It's good to see you guys clean up after yourselves at the end of your job(s).
  • @carpenterone3
    Came out awesome scott! I love how the dog just chills on the backhoe while the dude is Operating it 💯👊🏽
  • @piratejimmeh
    Nice tidy work the bros, so good to see building work and drainage done properly!
  • @WowRixter
    This has got to be the nicest (and most expensive) wood retaining wall ever
