My dude, just subbed to ya a few days back because im about to build my first retaining wall. First time doing block work as well. To be honest,   my commonsense, along with all the errors of it, is all i had to go on before checking out your videos. After four videos, i know im not ready. But starting the job tomorrow. Im more of an interior  tradesman. Tile, framing, plumbing, etc... The client is fully aware of my level of knowledge and the invoice reflects these limitations. This wall is to act as a seawall to some extent and will be 25 foot long. ANY practical advise would greatly be appreciated. By practical, in this situation, i mean to say, "can be done by one man in 6 days" with 1000$ in materials. I am about to upload a video of it on you tube. Im not a content creator of any sort.  My videos are for my own documentation and reflection, and for the benifit of clients.

Why the hell did u weld small pieces of rebar.. Instead of using one long rod? :)

Dude that steel has to to in the tension zone. It looks to to be the neutral zone which is pretty useless there

Horizontal rebar is a waste and not needed
