Geez, you build yourself a wall that came out as nice as this. So you figured you'd share some pictures and then half the people commenting are beating you up over details. It's your home Anthony, so if you like it I like it. It's a beautiful job! Everyone's entitled their own opinion, I just hope you're not paying to much attention to the "know-it-alls."
@AnthonyWatsonDIY5 років тому
Thanks! I'm no expert but this wall is ten years old and looks as good as the day I built it. We liked it so much I extended this wall in 2009, then built a third wall a few years later in 2014.
@stevenfaults41605 років тому
Good for you! I live in New England and have been a mason for more than 33 years now. I love it when people take the initiative to build their own things. Hey it's the 21st century now and with Google we are all experts at what ever we'd like to be:-)

@AnthonyWatsonDIY6 місяців тому
@@georgelamoree1569 I bought a 13 yard dump truck load of "gabion" stone. I honestly don't know what kind of rock it is, basalt maybe. Whatever is commonly available in our area. It was supposed to be 4" to 8" stones, but my load had everything from 12" down to tiny pebbles. As for the mortar I used this: www.homedepot.com/p/Quikrete-60-lb-Mortar-Mix-110260/100318487

You obviously know nothing about it. This wall will fail in short order depending on his climate. See my full comment for details. My point is that you have no foundation to state whether he did a great job, mediocre job, or plain ignorant job.

Thank you very much Mr. Watson for sharing your work, for me it was very inspiring, I saw him many times to notice the way he did it, then I applied those tips and built a similar wall at the entrance of my plot, I still do not finish it because I had an accident in my truck and I am recovering the strength in my hands, but I hope to finish it soon and share my work with you, cordial greetings from the end of the world, Chile

@daxisperry76444 роки тому
Amazing work. I never would've thought to use plywood to keep it flat. Great idea!
@AnthonyWatsonDIY4 роки тому
I used the piece of plywood to have something to build the wall against. It ensured the wall was vertical, and prevented stones and mortar falling behind the wall as I was building. I filled the space behind the wall with a drainage pipe, gravel, and landscape fabric for drainage.

@jwills86063 роки тому
Just a couple of things: We had a lot of stonemasons immigrate from the "old country" into the area where I grew up, and their retaining walls, over 100 years old now, still stand in perfect order - some more than eight feet tall. They always placed terra cotta pipe "weep holes" through the walls, so they could bleed off water from behind, preventing the soil from freezing, expanding, and toppling their walls. They also put rubble between the walls and the hillside, also to drain water down to the weep holes and to prevent frozen ground from shoving their walls from behind. I don't see those here. Are you in an area that doesn't freeze? Have you had any problems with the above? Thanks.
@AnthonyWatsonDIY3 роки тому
I have a 4" perforated pipe behind the wall that redirects any water to the other side of our property. That is surrounded by stone and landscape fabric to keep soil out of the drain. Only the top 8-10 inches or so is soil. The wall is over 12 years old now and there have not had any issues. I'm in SW Washington state.
