Dear Heath, Hello from Jakob from SE London in the UK. back in July 2021 I payed off every last debt I ever had, yep the whole lot done and dusted. I cannot explain the amount of stress those payment years were to me. I am now 60yrs old. Now I work part time as I can now afford to and have plenty of both time and money to do my projects and follow my persuits. Took me 11yrs to do it and now the debt it is all gone. I have since built a motorcycle (a 1976 Honda CB125J), rebuilt a big 6.7kva diesel generator and bought an ATS system then sub panelled the fuse box and wired it into the house to cover fridges, freezer, TV, sat box, computor and a few lamps doted around the place. I went on holiday for the first time in over 14yrs. Two weeks down on the coast boat fishing, junk food and drinking beer. I cannot even begin to explain just how much my own mental health has improved. I paid a solicitor to sort out a payment plan and it was the best thing I ever did. Sorry this comment was so long but in my head it was a lot shorter. Have a great day....
As someone that has done many retaining walls over my 25 years in landscaping, the three general practices I would offer you is that you should bury the first course in the soil by at least half the course height. This helps keep the wall from sliding forward from the soil pushing from the back. Another for to help the wall keep from toppling and to absorb soil movement behind the wall, to give all that hillside water a place to flow from the behind the wall, backfill a depth into the hillside at least 12” with washed 57 gravel (just the cheapest of that size and because that size is really common across the country) and preferable with landscape fabric between gravel and native soil to keep fines from clogging gravel air spaces, and ideally with French drain line plumbed to the ends of the wall. You need to evacuate the water from the soil behind the wall to help keep it from heaving, especially in cold climates from winter freezing. Lastly for safety is that once you reach a certain height, you need to use a geotextile to help hold the wall from falling over just from the weight of the soil. There are engineering rules to follow, though I’m not an engineer, as an example if your final wall height is say 5’ you should install the textile at 3’. Anything below 3 feet rarely needs textile. The textile would be used for stone walls and min 4’ deadman into the hillside would be used in timber walls following the same general rule on height and lateral placement of each deadman is approximately every 10’. Along with the artistry, there is a science to retaining wall construction and it can be very in depth usually because of the safety factors when done in public’s spaces or commercial applications. These practices have served me well through my career, never having to go back, as of yet, for any wall install or repair of another’s work to address the issues I highlighted and think it will be a good starting point for you. I’ve been watching and enjoying y’all’s videos for years now and hate seeing you have to repeat a project and knowing how tough retaining wall work is for one guy, I don’t want to see ya needing to tear down any of your walls after a few years because of the issues most common to causing wall failures.
Today's episode is a great one! Thanks for letting us ring the bell. Was amazing to see the place and great to meet you and your family Heath. When you're ready to trade trucks, let me know. 😉
I’m not a stone mason Heath, just an old Oklahoma rancher in my mid 70’s. My best advice would be, just be careful tugging on all those big rocks. Once you turn 50, your body gets a mind of its own. That being said, your place is looking pretty nice. I watched off and on as you started your build. I’ve seen it come a long way and in every step you have really impressed me. You are a great example of what a man can do if he’s a hard worker and a man who puts his families comfort first. You’re an inspiration and great example for young men today. Every Sunday, after church and after the kids and grandkids, and sometimes even the great grandkids have all gone home, my first instinct is to see if your video has posted. I watch it, do my evening devotion then hit the bed. Your family is always in our prayers. See ya in a week.
The truck is real nice!! The house has always looked nice and the whole property is beautiful. Very nicely done!! We have lady bugs all over too. We had wasps come through the chimney in the shop. It was crazy. Great video you guys.
I’m always disappointed when the videos end. I could keep watching for hours. lol Love seeing your projects and the positive vibe you bring. Have a good week.
Blessings and prayers for you, your wife and family & your back. Enjoyed the video. Praying that you have enough good weather to arrive at convenient stopping place. Stay safe, healthy, strong, wise and successful in Jesus's Name. ☝🙏🙌💪
Wow, I thought that was way to dark a stain, but it looks good. and the rock laying is rockin along! I have no clue about rock laying natural stones, but I think the most pleasing look with stone is to never line up the joints between the rocks. Always stagger the joints, like bricks are, and like you put on shake shingles. That is an artists eye 'opinion', not a rock mason! I hope you don't have as deep a snow as last year, but for sure enough to keep things fresh! Keep the videos coming!
I'm digging the rock retaining wall behind the cabin...😂😅 Pun intended😊 I'm surprised ya'll aren't readying the corner of your road, the one that's always a bear to get through when wet. Love ya'll ❤️
Over 50 years ago I worked 2 years for a stone mason, 3 years for bricklayers before that, the Stone walls are all still standing, we put drain pipes where wall is 4' + tall and always used gravel behind going back 2' to about 5' or more depending on wall height, just take a wide 3" Chisel and chip all four sides of the rock that faces, using all rock chips as drainage gravel behind wall, the whole deal is to eliminate water pressure from behind by making the water gravitate to bottom, to then be expelled, usually thru a french drain pipe, and burying first course at least 4" to a foot, and to make the rocks Facing presentable, as if new, excepting the middle area of the rocks that show - cause the aging is the accent, or patina, beyond that keep the heavier rocks on lower courses and keep telling yourself that your crafting an artwork, and when using chisel don't even worry about hitting your hand with hammer, it doesn't even hurt, cause once you learn that hitting your hand with hammer in exactly the same spot, for a second time, pains to make you climb the walls, a third hit like the second trains to not to hit hand with hammer ever, to the point that hitting the correct spot happens naturally, be it a nail or be it a chisel, plus the air blower is useless, the rain cleans to where the wall just keeps looking better and better, day after rainfall day ! The China bugs are round looking - just like the oblong lady bugs, ( been becoming a nuisance for the last 7 years across the nation ) easy to distinguish, I'd try my Stink-Bug eradication method, take an old style floodlight light bulb or an old-style 200 watt light bulb and screw to old style trouble-light that can handle the heat without becoming a fire hazard, then' at night turn off all lights except the Flood light, that needs to be set inside something Fire-King or Corning-Ware, anything old that will not burn or melt made for stovetop cooking, just place light bulb to touch bottom, while considering safety relating to the heat created, then in morning unplug light, after it cools, take the Corning-Ware dish and dump the bugs outside, to set it ready for another nights use, cause a few bugs didn't attract-to, and the dead bugs dont smell at all, cause they are dried-out to the consistency of paper, again I only used for the stink-bugs, but I went from hundred flying all about to on third day only killing a few, then did again the following years !
Snow on Thursday or Friday of this week ok . Here in salt lake City the temperature is going to get down to 40 in the valley. Burrr to Cold. Have a nice week from Neil schwerdt in west valley city Utah 😊
oguys did really nail it on the stain for the cabin. I looks amazing! While I do understand the desire to build an entirely "hand built" retaining wall. I personally would not have been able to do it with the excavator available. The only reason they were hand built before is because they did not have excavator's 😊 I also really admire your commitment to getting the look you are after, even when that means taking it all down and doing it again. 👏👏
After a bit of practice and exposure, you begin to find the stones speak to your hands. They tell you where they need to go. It’s a kind of magic. I love the deep warm tones of the new stain; so much better than the one you went with originally.
9:19 - that was a graceful fall. It sounds like a joke when people say you need to know how to fall to not be injured worse, but it's true. Heath had a nice follow through. Instead of fighting it - just go with it as softly as possible.
Hello red poppy ranch I just want to say that you're wonderful house looks amazing with that stain on it and your wonderful book is so huge and then the antlers that he had last year
Good nutrition will do that for most animals and humans😊 Heath and Cedar are taking great care with their family and their animals! Warms my heart to see it.🍁🍂🎃🕷🕸🫖📚🪡🐈⬛
YIKES!....my back is screaming just watching you move those stones around,I've done that and it ain't good. Hope you feel ok next week,it is going to take me a week to recuperate from just watching you!
A fellow I worked with years ago told me painting/staining is 90% preparation and 10% persperation. I have found that to be very good advice. Keep up the good Heath, the place is looking fabulous. Mike from Maine.
Colours are coming together beautifully. Perhaps your love for stonework, the grassy area that didn't take might look good with some gravel and stone work.A garden path of sorts with no mowing required and a few indestructble wildfowers for colour and butterflies. Ooops, got to dreaming , it's one of the reasons I love watching. ❤🇨🇦
He Heath, the stain on the house is a great job. All done finally. Tic that one off your very long list. The tin turned out very good also.👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
The old rusty galvanized tin is not a finish that I am in favor of, but I understand the reasons for it. The stone retaining wall looks great. About 30 years ago I helped a friend build the Granite walls, fireplace, etc on a large 4 bedroom home, the main difference being that the walls were vertical of course, as we use mortar between them to stabilse them in place. The interior of the walls were timber and plasterboard with all the usual electrical and plumbing of course.
I think the sod did rather well considering the weather conditions and it will spread roots. Just keep the weeds out if you care to but next spring it is going to look nice. Let the stain weather for a year before you decide it was any good.
Awe my Dad had an F150 that same color. He bought it brand new in either “72” or “73” from Omara Ford in Northglenn, CO. He had a sticker on it that said “Buy a foreign vehicle put an American out of a job” or something to that effect. I thought my Dad was crazy at the time. Of course that was when I was young and knew everything. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
No, you don't. Mine was (he passed two years ago) and my heart would stop any time I saw a flatbed with a classic truck on it hoping it wasn't another one coming to our house. I was standing in line at the bank once and this guy walked up to me and said, "How do I know you?" I told him "You deliver all the vehicle parts to my house." Yeah, he saw me so often he recognized me in a line in Phoenix AZ with a population of 1,644,481. LOL!
@@AZHITW Well I would trade the sports obsessed for a trades obsession any day! Nothing like seeing someone stare at a screen all waking hours even while driving, shopping, showering/bathing, eating, brushing, going potty, resting, while watching or playing something else etc …..it’s dudes trying to get a ball from point A to B 😖
One year I the brown ladybugs in my apartment, the kind that bite. It's amazing how fast a shop vac took care of that problem. Red ones I can live with, brown, nope.
Even the red ones aren't Lady Bugs but a Asian beetle. True Lady Bugs are beneficial to the garden as the Asian one isn't... "It's common to spot Asian lady beetles congregating in huge numbers on houses and other buildings in the fall. They can bite and will release an unpleasant odor when disturbed. Unfortunately, these insects also have been pushing out native ladybugs."
You can you you some dry concrete and sprinklr around the rocks and with some light water or even a spreader you can really lock those rocks down it seals the gap and will shed water better 😊 Just a thought easy on the back my man looks great
Howdy everyone, it’s been a killer month over here on the east coast.. thank god maybe things are getting back to normal.. we finally have power again..
You have far more moisture than we do. In the last 3 months we've had 3.78" and nothing in the last 25 days. We're surrounded by the Black Hills National Forest. Fire is always a concern. We do practice Firewise guidelines to some extent. Trees are kept away from the house. Trees are limbed up so as not to provide ladder fuels. Our house is sided with Fibre Cement and the first 4' around the house is covered with rock. No plants that burn readily such as Junipers.
you should build a concrete cistern for water storage up the hill a ways and you can pump water up into it - then you will always have water pressure even in an emergency - i know you have something like this already but water is so valuable where you are you may want a backup. the terraces are going to look good
You should see the british dry stone wall makers no concrete used just a hammer it's an art We have lots around here in Cambridge England 🇬🇧 but the best are in Yorkshire
Heath don’t worry about the sod. It’s Kentucky blue grass so over time it will spread and fill in. Just continue to water, fertilize, and most importantly MOW. And mow at least a couple times a week if possible. Grass wants to grow and if it can’t grow up then it will grow out and get thick and full! I promise if you do those three things, your grass will look beautiful. I have the lawn to prove it.
Hey Heath, as I live in Bali I wouldn't be able to use it however, I reckon you should produce some of those tops you were wearing whilst doing the staining on the house. Then us lazy buggers could wear it and it would look like we had done something where in fact we would be just lazing back watching your great videos. Cheers Tony In Bali.
When sod sits, it starts to “cook”…even in the coolest weather. I have pulled sod off a pallet that has sat for just a few days and it was uncomfortably hot…the smell of baking grass is also unmistakable. Once this happens, there is no saving the grass…but you already know this!
My brother and I are former full time stone masons and now we just do it according to if jobs need it. Let me know. I am in SL and my brother is in St George. We would love to come up
Heath I think you have the most patient wife in the world!!!

Looking good keep up the nice work
HEY! Hello Red Poppy and thumbs UP!!!
The old rusty galvanized tin is not a finish that I am in favor of, but I understand the reasons for it. The stone retaining wall looks great. About 30 years ago I helped a friend build the Granite walls, fireplace, etc on a large 4 bedroom home, the main difference being that the walls were vertical of course, as we use mortar between them to stabilse them in place. The interior of the walls were timber and plasterboard with all the usual electrical and plumbing of course.
I lived most of my life in Scotland where there are huge dry stane walls all over the country and to me it looks like you are doing a great job.
Love that stain!
I think the sod did rather well considering the weather conditions and it will spread roots. Just keep the weeds out if you care to but next spring it is going to look nice. Let the stain weather for a year before you decide it was any good.
Always enjoy your progress. The guys from Michigan got a deal on the old Ford truck. Worth the drive, and time together.
The retaining walls looking good .
Nice looking truck. It's good to see some fellow michiganders .
Was awesome seeing RPR live, the truck made it back to MI safe and sound.
@billjonesadv2158 i bet. Glad to hear!
Nice truck. Brings back memories of my first truck. I was 16, summer of '68. It was a green (seemed like all trucks were green then) 1957 F100.
Very nice retaining wall. Reminds me of the Gabion retaining wall.👍
Hey Mr. Fallow buck, don't hurt those beautiful antlers! Great looking stain 🖌
Boss of the swamp would give you an A for effort
Thanks and have a blessed day
Good evening RPR 😊. Stain is looking good

It looks great! The hand-stacked rock retaining wall and the stain on the house. Keep up the great work!
Good job!

Then learn how to fix them yourself!
Unless you are mentally/physically unable?

Heath... you never really started transforming your property until you got yourself an excavator and the skid steer.........
Hello everyone hope all is well. From South Carolina.
From my amateur eye, I think the retaining walls look best when you avoid long horizontal lines
Monkey see monkey do! Now I want try my hand at building a rock wall. Thanks for the inspiration. Oh and you can learn just about anything on RUclips.
you should build a concrete cistern for water storage up the hill a ways and you can pump water up into it - then you will always have water pressure even in an emergency - i know you have something like this already but water is so valuable where you are you may want a backup. the terraces are going to look good
Heath already has that, and he plans on doubling capacity, the creek across the roads water is pumped up to storage tanks creating water pressure !
That is an awesome first truck!
Broadcast seed in the side yard, sprinkle a 1/4 of topsoil and water like crazy, fall is the best time for grass seeding
You’re going to be all broken down when you get older. I was the same way. Now I’m all broken down. God bless.
there is the Energizer Bunny and then there is the Energizer Heth;..they keep on going and going....!
You should see the british dry stone wall makers no concrete used just a hammer it's an art
We have lots around here in Cambridge England 🇬🇧 but the best are in Yorkshire
That stain really looks good.....
The back of your house looks great now. But you need to do the upper second story now. More work buddy.
Heath don’t worry about the sod. It’s Kentucky blue grass so over time it will spread and fill in. Just continue to water, fertilize, and most importantly MOW. And mow at least a couple times a week if possible. Grass wants to grow and if it can’t grow up then it will grow out and get thick and full! I promise if you do those three things, your grass will look beautiful. I have the lawn to prove it.
Heath, I'm guessing your buddy Marc could spare a few
Awesome and outstanding as always
Hey Heath, as I live in Bali I wouldn't be able to use it however, I reckon you should produce some of those tops you were wearing whilst doing the staining on the house. Then us lazy buggers could wear it and it would look like we had done something where in fact we would be just lazing back watching your great videos. Cheers Tony In Bali.
Good morning !!

Thanks again for your time making the video watching from Reno NV
I’ll bet strawberries would grow well that new little garden
I think the sone wall looks great!
When sod sits, it starts to “cook”…even in the coolest weather. I have pulled sod off a pallet that has sat for just a few days and it was uncomfortably hot…the smell of baking grass is also unmistakable. Once this happens, there is no saving the grass…but you already know this!
My brother and I are former full time stone masons and now we just do it according to if jobs need it. Let me know. I am in SL and my brother is in St George. We would love to come up
Slate or flag stone would look better than tin.
Ladybug's are red. 🐞
