I wonder what all of these roads look like after the flood that just hit the property

$100 for a $5 hat? That's entrepreneurship.
@adammckenzie6074 Says:
An inspection shoulda shown this was done wrong… that’s why u hire inspectors and do jobs right…. They woulda made them dig down show the drainage and everything was done correct. This was all types of wrong
@MitchellEdwards222 Says:
Was there permits involved Matt?
@rainerandkatieniederoest825 Says:
DRIRL... Also it's kind of amazing what you can get away with in Texas. Here in Pennsylvania even though those roads aren't paved, the type of crushed stone you used probably would have been counted as impervious area. You would have had to put in stormwater basins or something to manage the runoff volume, peak flow, and sediment. Maybe there is some reason I don't know about that means it matters less down there.

I suspect a certain traits? characters? backgrounds? Um... Yeah.

I hope this experience isn't what drove Matt to abandon the ranch.

Looks like you got stonewalled.

Name names and report them to the BBB!
@yourfavoritelawnguy2722 Says:
Yikes no footing, no actual drainage, no geo netting, no backfilling or staking. Looks like they used concrete instead of mortar to build the face, which is why its so weak and easy to pull off.
Hope you took em to court, they should not be doing work for anyone else.
@sagelavender3281 Says:
Hi Matt, did you sell your abandoned mansion? I was telling my son to watch your cool videos. I told him, this guy bought an abandoned mansion, on the top of a mountain. Now he’s restoring a resort villa, it’s so cool. ❤

well when you subcontract guys from home depot this is what you get

I bet there has to be sort of legal remedy. However, you probably know better than me.

to be fair thats about 15k worth of work lol
@noneyadamnbidness2920 Says:
Kinda kije all those people that support black rifle coffee company getting scammed huh?
@networkcrasher Says:
15k? I'm surprised you got what you got for that little. Walls be expensive my dude
@jguth6 Says:
4:30 they obviously know how to do it properly. They started building the full cinder block wall with the rebar ready for concrete. It seems they got maybe 1/4 the way along and decided they werent bothering with the cinder block wall. typical corner cutting. Dont know how these people sleep at night
@John-q5p9m Says:
You're rich, fix it and stop complaining.
@CL053DC45K37 Says:
So you never checked the construction at all? Ever? I've never not had an owner check on the work I was doing or never check on work I was having done.
@KingdomWarrior-tg7dn Says:
This is what happens when contractors use fly by night subs who don't know what they are doing. Disgusting.
@stevenschalck2781 Says:
No flaps at the end for those anchor rods means those are just rods lol sorry this happened to you bro
@effoffu Says:
why did they use concrete instead of mortar/lime mix ??????

@YoloMoloPolo300 Says:
Cinderblock retaining walls like the bit they put in here aren't very good either. If using cinder blocks you should use the ones that are offset from each other and form an incline away from the base of the rock wall. With straight stacked cinder blocks its best to include ties which are run into the earth behind the wall. Either of these approaches will give you a retaining wall that will be a lot less likely to buckle.
@avgrphx Says:
"culvert"
@jeremiahthomas2669 Says:
Maybe he underbid the job and didn't finish with concrete
@Athanasios-pg2gf Says:
Tofu Dreg!
@ArcanusLibero Says:
Matt you can hydro seed those banks for cheap and get growth going quickly.
@Eli-InTheWolverineState Says:
I like the logging bridges that look like cattle guards. Culverts are a waste. The loggers put one in after issues with large culvert on our private 2 track. It don't clog like a culvert.
@Eli-InTheWolverineState Says:
Here hardscapes are a 10 year warranty. Remove wall. Build some french drain burritos and dump riprap or boulders over it. Don't lay the boulders in a line just dump them. Make it like a riprap shoreline.
@dudederek Says:
It's so crazy seeing Clint on your channel. I went to the same high school as him. Maybe a grade or two behind though.
@ronontheroam1359 Says:
you need to sue brotha
@diamondarcher79 Says:
This is why you hire a geotechnical engineer self you design a retaining wall you need footings reinforcing steel, the whole 9 yards
@EDungarian Says:
I may have missed it, but in case you didn't, name them publicly as a warning to others. Unless that would cause legal trouble of course lol
@mindtrix1k Says:
So the contractor who subbed it out didn’t inspect the work his sub was doing or did? What a dumbo.
@Devildg255 Says:
The facade wall
@Max317_ Says:
Your contractor is to blame 100% they shouls have caught that even on a punch list item.
@BobStienke Says:
I know what you mean. I’ve had to fire four sets of subcontractors during our Victorian house restoration. Not fun…
@greggcollins4215 Says:
The cinder block wall still needs "dead men" to anchor it to the earth behind it.
@quinnlandon3254 Says:
GeoGrid is a must building a dirt retaining wall like that. Holds the dirt and keeps it from shearing off like that
@Grumpyseabee22 Says:
Unfortunately today you have to stay on the jobsite and shadow a lot of contractors anymore... otherwise corners get cut so they can make more off of the job. Engineered retaining wall, with drawings that have to be signed off on by all parties.
@JamesKLee Says:
"Stuff fails, people lie" is THE big lesson of business ownership. Figuring out how to prevent or respond to the failures/lies with as little cost as possible is pretty much an entire career.
@alwaysskeptical7221 Says:
You’ll be ok
@ScottX507 Says:
I am amazed it lasted as long as it did. You can NOT judge a contractor by price. There are a lot of people out there that charge way more than they are worth in construction. The GC is responsible to inspect the work of his subs. 15k is not enough for that. There should have been engineering drawings. You may want to embed the culverts in cement stabilized sand, then cover.
