    I used to carry heavy things without a back support , now my back is damage and pain is horrible, please protect your back. Now you are young and dont feel anything , but in future you can damage your back.
    Back pain is horrible.
    Thank you for your videos.

    Hi Tim, firstly, I am a MASSIVE fan! Love getting the alerts you have posted a new video! I am currently building a sleeper wall too and was wondering if you were going to show how the membrane will be finished? Are you going to be stapling it or something to the sleepers to stop the soil contacting them? I am just about to install gravel and drainage pipe to keep all water away but was thinking of maybe using a non woven fabric too on the back of the sleepers.

    so I've always believed wood should not be in direct contact with concrete as the concrete stops the wood drying out and as a result it will rot…

    Looking great! =)

    I think those bricks in front of the oak sleepers were a stroke of genius. They set it all off really nicely.

    Looking forward to the completion!

    Looks great, give the concrete as much time as possible to go off! I did something similar and filled it after 2 wks and the sleepers got pushed out a few mm's.
