    In this diy video, the corner post on the timber frame cabin was water damaged at the bottom. It's repaired and we are laying rock veneer and building a retaining wall to help protect it now from any further weather related damage.

    I was stumped on how you were going to be able to place the logs in the retaining wall in such a confined space for the tractor.
    Your solution was just BRILLANT !!!!!

    Would it not have been faster to run the logs through the sawmill for a tight more uniform fit? Cuts out the step of having to remove the bark . . .

    • @SmokyMountainOutpost
      @SmokyMountainOutpost  2 роки тому

      He had thought about that in the beginning, but the logs were so crooked by the time he was able to get them “straight” he would have lost a lot of wood. -Jennifer

    Yep , almost 3 years ago. “You need a retaining wall behind your house “ response “it’s slate rock no need” just saying.

    • @SmokyMountainOutpost
      @SmokyMountainOutpost  2 роки тому

      Slate rock? We have shale. They are two different types technically. I think you are meaning shale though. It is not so much the shale has given away, it is more so the red clay dirt has broken down by being walked on often and from the rain. Of course erosion occurs naturally. It wasn’t something he figured he would need. We live and we learn. I don’t think it helped building the garden there and that could be one of the greater reasons erosion occured. Our previous 2 houses he built himself didn’t require one. Both were red clay/shale mix as well. I agree that you had a good idea! Thanks for following! -Jennifer
