Ive watched 'detailed' repair/building vids for 15 years and this is the best presentation I can recall at the moment.
Thank you, you are too kind!
You are the most laid back carpenter I've ever seen- very informative
Nice job. That was a lot of work. You made it look easy.
The bevelled deadmen are a very nice detail. Thanks for making this video, it has been really helpful.
Wow You have to respect the hard work and attention to detail and engineering this man put into this important area of the driveway!!!!
Fantastic work! Doing things the right way and not shortcutting is what makes a project last! Thanks for sharing.
David Sanders Thank you!
Appreciate the attention to detail, how-to's, and action-explanation. Thank you for taking the time to make the video and share!
Chris you did a hell of nice job, and I agree it will be there for a long time.
You're the man for the job
Very helpful and full of good details..thanks for the video.
Never thought to make the deadmen look like a decorative piece...Always thought to hide them. Gonna use this on my retaining wall.
This was a super cool video! I'm currently building a timber retaining wall along one side of my driveway, and will tie in the end of the retaining wall to a culvert wall!
great attention to the details, wow great design. ive got to say fer me best part about this vid is the wood carving disk didnt have aclue they was anew tool fer helping me with crown molding, just pickin awesome work sir thanks fer sharin me as well new sub
Glad to hear! There are some other wood carving disks for grinders out there for bowls that I want to check out also. They don't have the chainsaw blade on the end and seem a little safer. Might work great also for when you're doing that cope cut on moulding.
Amazing job, I love it the way you explain every single detail good and well.
Pretty slick. Massive curb appeal.
Looks good! I’ve learned that you could use a hammer drill for driving the rebar. I have two driveway entrances at which I will be doing something extremely similar.
Good video . I like the timber look . My son just purchased property (33 acre ) he putting Dad to work with a crossing over a creek .
I like how tour dead man's are exposed and beveled. Really nice touch.
very smart man, highly appreciated the video
Great looking work, really , really good looking workI used my electric light weight jack hammer to drivegrounding rod, don't insert bits into hammer,drop hammer onto rebar, away she goes, I usedit in New Hampshire in the dead of winter,worked like a charm, good luck, keep postingI,m willing to bet you picked up tons of workwith this video
Great idea, thanks for sharing.
very nice job you have done
Great video Chris. I have a culvert on the back of my land that I want to build retaining walls but nothing as intricate as yours but your video gave some nice ideas for a culvert in have at entrance of my property. Excellent work and have a Merry Christmas, Chris. I gave a full-watch of your video. In fact, I watched it twice 😊. New Subscriber!
Thank you! It's been 2 years since I did the project and I'm glad that I had the time and funds to do it myself back then. You should be able to do a much simpler retaining wall by keeping it straight. I wanted to widen it and make it symmetrical to the existing slabs so it complicated things a bit. Merry Christmas to you too!
Super job! Really appreciate your efforts.
Excellent work. Helpful video. Thanks.
Amazing job. Looks incredibly solid
It is! Thanks!
Nice work！There are two different lengths of rebars, May I ask how many feet for each one? Thanks
Those cuts in the deadman are great untill the start to rot.... it takes alot longer to rot a 6x6 than a 2x6 as you cut both sides but great wall 👍
Thomas Koenig glad someone caught that
You did good, enjoyed the video.
Wow driving steel into the ground,, I suppose you know where all services utilities are in the ground ? Nice job mate ,tidy and strong
Thanks! Yes, we dial 811 to check for utilities around here. 🙂
Nice work! Very helpful content!
Nicely done! 👍
can you do an update and show us your finished piece of art? Great knowledge passed on, thank you
I have more videos on my profile showing the solar paver installation in the finished driveway, please check it out!
you are doing very well, awesome job Chris!
Thank you!
you are more than welcome!
Excellent work.
I’m late to this video, but it seems like he is building the London Bridge
Hi sir did you consider shuttering and concrete , here in the Uk sleepers would not last very long in that situation . I assume you have access to more resilient timber than we do, even oak would probably fail with our climate . Best wishes and kind regards. 😀👍👍👍
Nice work!
This is a bit fancier than what I'm planning to do, but i think you did an awesome job. It looks great and seems as if it will last for years and years. Great engineering.
josh stringer Thank you so much!
Looks great. Can I see a video of it completely finished?
Hi, there are more videos on my profile that show the solar paver installation in the finished driveway, please check it out!
Great work.
Enjoyed that and subscribed.
Good job Christopher!!!
Amazing work! How long did the project take?
I am considering going this route over concrete sloped ends, for a large development. However my job is very time sensitive & I am not sure if this would be efficient or not.
Thanks! I didn't log my time, I took off work for several weeks and improvised and designed along the way with the retaining walls and pavers. The retaining walls went faster than the pavers but still took my a few days per side working alone. I tend to overthink and over-engineer though.
very impressed! Looks great!
Thank you! I'm glad I took my time. I've made a lot of other people's houses nice over the years and glad to be able to enjoy my own hard work when I come home for a change. I appreciate the kind words.
Awesome job
Well done!
Yes, definitely a pro job.
Damn!, you work fast!
Wood (even treated wood) buried up in the ground in a waterway? How long do you realistically expect that will last?
It's a ditch, so it doesn't stay wet...with the ground contact treated posts we get here on the coast, it should be there for 10-15 years, maybe more. It's been there for almost 3 years so far and still solid. It will last longer than I'll be living here, that's what matters to me.
Nicely done! Just out of curiosity, why didn't you use the hammer drill to drive in the rebar at 14:05, like you did at 12:10?
Thanks, it actually was not a hammer drill, it was an impact wrench to drive the lag bolts.
Ah ok, I gotcha. Thanks!
Dang that should of all been concrete.
It's all good from here.
This guy looks like American dad
Analytical to a fault. Beverly Hills budget. I guess if a homeowner had a 2 week vacation to build a culvert cover.
Never drive the rods in all the way at first. It is just like s*x.
Sorry nothing new for me to see here.
Nothing new on your RUclips channel either, post something better and show us what we need to learn!
I don’t have time to lie to people out here the way you do for profit in getting enough subscribers.asshole
That's hilarious! 😂. I haven't been paid a dime for this! I'm telling the truth, no lies here dude! 😂🤣😂
