My teacher told me I was an apprentice about 2 years ago, however I had already known how to paint and cut fantastic. Knew things come easy to me, for example welding, that is combined with the best instructor is why I know how to do so much more than painting and welding. I can diagnose or replace water heaters and furnaces. If the water heater tank doesn't leak, it can be fixed. I can remodel bathrooms with ease. Even relocating everything in the bathroom or making entire second bathrooms. I love siding. Still need practice on kitchens. I can do new trim baseboards, casing, crown molding, and quarter round. Can repair drywall. I can fix or build stairs, along with fence repair or installation. Of course always ready to do, mowing, raking, and landscaping. Feel free to message me for any of the tasks listed maybe even more. I would say its all the same to me but I really enjoy painting and replacing furnaces, but am not picky. All good work for good pay is good work for good pay to me.

Retaining Wall Installers questions, answered by experts

A retaining wall can only function as a fence if it’s high enough on all sides to prevent someone from accidentally falling into the pool. However, most retaining walls retain dirt, which means their purpose is not related to safety. There would need to be nothing on the other side of the wall for it to be considered a fence, but in that case, it wouldn’t retain anything and would cease to be a retaining wall.  

Regular inspection for issues like cracks or leaning and ensuring drainage stays clear.

Even if you think you know how to build a retaining wall theoretically, doing the actual work is a completely different story. There are lots of nuances in building retaining walls, and the slightest oversight can compromise their integrity. Therefore, we recommend you hire a pro to build, repair, or replace retaining walls.

Generally, a railroad tie retaining wall consisting of a single line of ties should be between 3 and 4 feet tall—and the height often tops out at around 6 feet. You can go taller, but you may need additional footings and reinforcements, including a second layer of railroad ties to support the added weight of the soil it’s holding back.

The lifespan of a retaining wall varies based on its particular material, whether it was properly installed, how well it’s maintained, and your local climate. Concrete, stone, and brick retaining walls last the longest, with concrete lasting between 50 and 100 years on average. Brick tends to last the longest, with a minimum of one century, under the right conditions. 

Timber retaining walls can start to deteriorate at 20 years, depending on the wood quality, but in the best case, they can last 40 years. Pressure-treated wood retaining walls last 30 years on average.
