Great job dean! I’m about to start a similar job here at my place on the east coast of Australia and your video has given me a few ideas and tips. Wish I had your excavator to help 😅
Nice work. I've done a retaining wall with 6x6 treated wood, non-woven geotextile and drain tile. I used galvanized spikes and structural bolts made for treated wood. I also used rebar where necessary but kept it to a minimum due to the corrosiveness of the chemicals used in treated wood. Your consideration for frost heave and drainage is key to keep a timber retaining wall in good shape for many year to come.
That custom attachment for the hammer is brilliant.

You REALLY do a nice job. Everything looks amazing.
Thank you! Cheers!

Thanks. I never considered the corrosive nature of "end cut" on those 3ft rebar.
Awesome project! very inspiring.
Glad you enjoyed it!
WHERE'S PART 2???!!! nicely done so far.
Part 2 comes in spring. It's -30c and no fun to work in. :)
Coulda got a driver bit for that jackhammer to drive the rebar. SDS Max ground bar driver. 15 bucks on Amazon.
My jackhammer has a weird end and non of those fit.
Those are not real deadmen! They are supposed to be T shaped!
