I've got 32 railroad ties stacked in my driveway.
The plan is to build a retaining wall with them, but i'm having lots of issues with design & construction. The wall is going to be built between 2 structures.
1.) Best way to cut them? I really don't want to buy 5 extra chains for my chainsaw.
2.) Best way to drain water from behind the wall? I've bought piping for a french drain, but i'm not sure how to create an outlet for the piping.
3.) How deep does the dead man timber really need to go into the packed surface?
