    Retaining wall advice requested

    There is this awesome guy on YouTube that just spews info on all sorts of things. His name is Stanley "Dirt Monkey" Genadek. Go to his playlists and look for retaining walls. He has 15 or 20 videos up about them. I wish I knew about him before I spent tens of thousands of dollars to build my...

    Retaining wall advice requested

    Maybe as your building the wall you can place a 8" sonotube or whatever size you think you could get away with right behind the wall for the fence post. Just remember that as you go up with the wall, it's also going to move back because of the lip. So you might have to put it a few inches behind...

    Retaining wall advice requested

    How long are your fence posts going to be? The depth of the wall plus two feet in concrete plus six feet above the wall? I'm just trying to see the big picture of the construction. Does that pathway run the length of the wall? I'm also guessing that your jack is on the concrete pathway? If so...

    Does your area have code on footing depth for dry stack retaining walls? 24" seems excessive to me. I would suggest to put the first course of block below grade to prevent a bottom wall blowout. If you can't do that, maybe knock holes in the top of the block and pound rebar down through the...

    Excavation looks good so far. However you put your block down, just make sure it's compacted as well as you can get it. How are you integrating the fence with the wall?

    On the cheapo. Gotcha. Oh, and no geogrid for 3' tall wall. I was thinking 6' high not realizing at the moment that you said 6' fence. Well, is it possible to find a cheap hollow block that you could fill with clean 3/4 stone from the top as you stack them? That would help lock them in place...

    Drainage, drainage, drainage. I would recommend at least 18 inches of clean 3/4 angular stone(#57stone by me) backfilled behind the wall with a drain tile at the bottom. Daylight it every about 20 or 30 feet. Depending which block you use will determine how big of a compacted base you will need...

    Camera does not record on BI when direct to disc is selected and has no sound

    Am I correct in thinking that the audio format in the camera and BI have to be the same to work? So far I'm not hearing improvement. Should I reboot the computer after every audio format change?

    Camera does not record on BI when direct to disc is selected and has no sound

    I've been messing with this camera off and on for a while now when time permits. It's a IPCT-HDBW4432F-IS. I have reset it with the reset button a couple of times and sometimes has intermittent recording while direct to disc is selected. I have also deleted and reinstalled the camera multiple...

    How many of you wear "hoodies" in normal life?

    NJ resident here. Hoodie worn on the days I go to work and when I work around the house. If it is cold and windy the hood goes up. A large percentage of people I see when I go to work have hoodies

    I think I was hacked, need help

    So I really hate to think that I've done everything right as of security and have been hacked. I hooked up a IPCT-HDBW4432F-IS last week and let it hang in my basement until I can mount it. This weekend I noticed the date says 1-6-1970. I try to change it through batch config tool and it doesn't...

    Can't get this cam to work

    Ok, after logging on to the camera on a web browser and checking all sorts of settings, I finally noticed after about the 6th time that the port number was wrong on the video configuration. I can't believe I didn't think to look at that earlier. It now has a video feed!
