Great video, most clear sting line video on YT! Thanks so much!

I'm more impressed to see someone use tires and rammed dirt, you belong to a very few, and put in elbow grease 👍🏼 I would of filled and off set them a tad more but just seeing someone using this mastery of building is impressive and hopeful for more people to understand the superiority of tires...

Always measure layouts with steel measuring tapes.

Thanks for this video! It was informative without giving to much info all at once and you did a great job of showing each step. I'm having so much trouble as a first-timer trying to get my foundation square. My soil is stable but full of river rock. So every time I put something in the ground the sticks get wonky and don't go in the ground where I want. Hopefully, the batter boards will be the solution I need! Do you have any pro tips for dense river rock soil?

Thanks you

I used to live in New Mexico and this was something that used to be done for homes. They would build the wall into a hill with tires. For a retaining wall it has worked well!

this lets you remove the strings and get them out of your way for digging, and then put the strings back up to check what you did.

A little on both sides to allow for extra space when installing the blocking and skids.

yr next video, should be making off a low side, how to bring it up to level with high side,

The diagonal is actually 36’- 11/16”. I wouldn’t be so dismissive of nearly 3/4” in a structure that small. As you referenced later on in the video, you want to be as accurate as possible in the foundation stage. Mistakes and rounding errors now will follow you all the way up the building.

@rmoreland3583

psidvivious, you obviously have no idea how to set a foundation and the math involved. His 36' at the early stage is only a point at which to get started. After all 4 corners are marked then a measurement is pulled diagonally from opposite corners. Adjustments are made depending on how much out of square the diagonals are. Temporary markers are placed to adjust for corrections and diagonals are pulled again and adjustments are made, then diagonals are pulled again and again until the diagonals are exactly the same thereby achieving Pythagorans triangle. The way this guy achieved his project, although there are better and simpler ways, is correct because the actual exact number does not have be know at the starting point, only the finish point.

@@rmoreland3583 Lol, You’re the kind of guy I know I would be letting go within about 2 hours. How many times are you going to go back and forth, walking from corner to corner measuring diagonals? If you are doing the Pythagorean calculation, you already know what the diagonal measurement is supposed to be. Why are you measuring over and over wasting all that time. Twice is all you need. Once to set it and twice to double check. But then again you’re probably the same guy that doesn’t actually do the math but instead thinks like diagonals equals square. Surprise, they don’t. You can have like diagonals without having a single square corner (isosceles trapezoid). Thanks for coming! I think the supermarket down the street is hiring!

Your math needs work, if you really want to get precise the square root of 1300 works out to 36 and 7/128th, or less than 36 and 1/16th which is the smallest increment i’ve ever seen on a tape measure, aka insignificant.

@@21trips Exactly my point. Your attempt to correct (possibly heckle) him at 21/32 was wrong and would have been far more significant of an issue being between 3/4 and 1/2 of an inch vs just reducing to the whole number of 36 although I could see an argument to use 1/16 since it’s a wee bit closer to absolute exact answer than 0 and is the smallest increment on the tape. However, given the minor inherent inaccuracies of string placement and eyesight, any attempt to get more exact than 36 and 1/8th is pointless.

@@21trips True but 21/32 is still wrong and 1/16th is closer to the precise measurement than 1/32 so still not useful. Also if you need that kind of precision you need calibrated metal tape measures and some form of uniform stakes that allow precise measurements to be taken.

I don't see any reason to use batter boards, when you could just use 4 stakes, 2 tape measures, and the Pythagorean theorem. So much extra work and fuss with batter boards.
