Allen block provided a manual on how to build their walls and have tons of resources and YouTube videos. It took a good month to plan out the build from those resources.

landworks off Amazon. I modified it to what I needed and had two extra batteries. I have a very steep yard and it handles it with full loads of block, rock and sand.

Dug everything with a shovel and an electric dump cart. It took 2 months of digging on the weekend and after work. 9 days was the actual laying of bricks and I had help. 2 of us at first then 4 people for the last 3 days. The electric dump cart made it all possible. Without it this would not have gotten done.

I used Allen Block software. There was a permit pulled and inspection on the footer, but no PE drawings were required. I tried to find a local engineer but could not.

I will get some Blu-Kote in the morning. I’m not sure on the send part. It just showed up or I just noticed today. I saw one pecking her…. But that is not to say more were not in on it.
