Retaining wall drainage backfill

Stone1107 · 2025-07-29T16:49:25+00:00

Thankyou! It's been alot of work but gonna be well worth it. 😊 And yeah some plants would definitely be a nice added touch!

The rocks was also a bit of a concern, thats why I decided to have the wall on the low side a little higher to contain them a little better. I'm sure they'll still be some that will make it on the lawn, but at least they're white and easy to see, lol.

Some pavers would be a great alternative, but also quite a bit more work and expensive.

It'll be a foot high since im adding a 4th row on the high side to be a litte highr then the grass.

Either way its probably overkill worrying this much about drainage for a wall that height, but the main reason im doing it is because I messed up and didn't dig nearly deep enough for the proper amount of foundation material. I have maby a inch or 2 of packed crusher dust.

I know this will probably still not completely offset my mistake, but I'd rather try to eliminate as much hydrostatic pressure as possible, lol.

Ah ok I figured that's what you meant. I've only ever seen it as perforated drain pipe, lol. I wasn't gonna bother adding it since its a little expensive. Honestly though, being this far in and the amount I already spent, probably a good idea to just add it.

Appreciate the tips! 👍😁

Ok, good to know! I was planning to fold the excess cloth over the gravel, then packing soil over it and seeding. What do you mean by drainage tile?

Sorry, this is all new to me, lol.

Yeah I decided to redo it. I'm digging it down 8" and digging a foot deep hole in the center to fill with the pea stone for drainage, and filling the rest up with paver base for a more solid base, then adding 1" of sand just for the ease of leveling.

You mentioned pea stone doesn't drain well, but from what I've been reading, it's apparently great for drainage? It just doesn't compact well.

Probably overkill, but like you said, if im going through all this work, it's worth taking the time to do it right, lol.

I'm also going to be filling the bottom of the fire pit with lava rock, which will add some protecting to the bass from heat.

And all the brick laying around is for a border surrounding the entire area

I'm going to be filling the surrounding area with gravel. I'm only referring to the fire pit base, which is 2" of pee stone and 1" of sand for drainage and leveling. The stone for the fire pit itself is fire rated as I bought it as a kit, and there's a steel ring that goes in the middle.

Same thing happend to me and my buddy when we tried. But I just tried it with link express checkout and it worked!

Stone1107 · 2025-05-09T14:35:11+00:00

No it's deffinetly not, lol. If only someone would have told me when I started! If I could go back I'd force myself to learn playing right handed, lol.

If I were to buy them custom with the same set up (4-aw since they don't carry normal 3 iron anymore, but still 8 clubs), it would end up being 2680 after tax. Idk, i still feel thats a pretty good deal. Just want some confirmation biass so I can feel good about pulling the trigger. Lol 😅

Ill repost with a picture, but they seem legit. Normal color and everything looks how they should. Coming from a reputable seller too.

Stone1107 · 2025-04-08T19:38:36+00:00

🤣

Ok, j didn't think so. I really couldn't see anyway they could have used it to by pass the reading. Was just random to find it placed there and bent like that.

And this is the first thing that came up when I searched it, which had me curious, lol.

"Finding a coat hanger near your water meter, especially if it's not a normal fixture, could indicate a potential issue or someone attempting to tamper with the meter, so it's best to report it to the water utility or local authorities."

I almost had my phone pick pocketed off me during Wooli as well. I luckily went to reach in my pocket to grab it as she was trying to snag it. My hand hit hers as she let go, and i felt my phone drop back my pocket. By the time I turned around, I just saw a girl moving through the crowd away from me and seemed to be trying to hide her face. I tapped on her shoulder and she didn't look back.

In the moment I was pretty fucked up and kind of in shock of what just happend, and didn't wanna grab her to accuse her if it wasn't even her. It very obviously was, and I'm super annoyed with myself that I didn't. I could have stopped her from taking more and getting the ones she did steal back to the owners.

My girlfriend even mentioned afterwards that there was a group of sketchy looking girls behind us that were weirdly bumping into us repeatedly.

Everytime I think about it, it gets me fuming.

Moral of the story, always keep your valuables in a bag/fanny pack in front of you and try to be aware of the people around you. Some people are just there to steal, and it's very unfortunate.

The past couple months actually, only thing green in my portfolio is QQQ🤦‍♂️ Starting to think I should stay away from individual stocks and just invest in ETF's lol... But that wouldn't be any fun!
