@livinginthebuild: Some things you can plan for. Some things you can only hope never happen. But we’ll keep going, even if it means taking it one hammer swing at a time. #selfbuild #homebuilding #diyhome #mountainlife #unfinishedhouse
Any movement and thise tree will be a bigger concern that even retaining wall won't help with.

Yeah I hate when natural rock formations just suddenly pop up right next to my house. 🤦♀️

Who else was here a year ago when she mentioned building a retaining wall out of rock baskets. But that obviously did not happen. Crazy to have built the house without first addressing the wall.

Why would you build it that close to an unstable hill?

I’m not a smart man, but I’m also not this stupid. 😂

Why would you build that close to the wall without doing anything about it FIRST though?

You must know cold weather and water form ice and in that kind of rock it will shift sending boulders down sometimes. I think you built house way to close to that formation.

Retaining wall should have went in before literally anything else, even the first shovel to dig the foundation. This is wild.

It’s almost like doing all this without ground disturbance/geology/engineering education is optional

Location location location. Telling the rocks “this is how it always is in Kentucky” isn’t going to repair your foundation. Bad decision

You can actually plan for this by hiring the proper professionals during the planning phase. Sounds like that did not happen tho

Sorry but why would you build there, I think it’s kind of obvious that this could be an issue at some point

start at the top and dig down. you can move that wall back by yourself and grade it down. just do a few loads a night and it will be done by the end of this season

No homeowners insurer will ever cover a diy house build because of things exactly like that. If you ever sell that it can only be sold as is for cash only. It seems like a good idea until you look at the long term picture.

The amount of moisture damage would have got you first. Dragging out the build was the first stupid move.
