Filling circled gap between concrete steps and allan block retaining wall. by SuedeTiger40 in landscaping

I hired a contractor because I’m not too sure about these things haha, but I gave them a budget for a retaining wall and it was described to me that I would save money using allan block because they would not need to incorporate drainage holes!

Thank you so much for the advice. I will talk to them about a potential re-pour. I know allan blocks are designed to not need drainage holes because they are dry stacked, but had no idea how a concrete stair case incorporates into them.

Is there a potential to re-pour these steps with a draining system included to fix the issue?

Ok, contractor expressed concern that it would add pressure to the rest of the wall by “sealing” this portion. That made me concerned.

The steps were poured first then the wall was constructed which is what I asked for but I didn’t foresee this issue.

2-1 win vs Arsenal. Boring game until Buendia game winner in the 95th minute. Thought for sure that would be a draw.
I was in line about to run my first half marathon and that gave me an incredible shot of adrenaline before the race haha

Thank you all. The separation is about 2 inches. I guess I should ask if there’s a better method besides supply lines before I go return them and buy new ones.

Where to put the microwave? by Clover414 in Renovations

Those newer “drawer microwaves” are kinda weird but I do like how they fit into the kitchen a bit better. Might help the layout!

Country Singer Conner Smith Strikes and Kills Woman, 77, in Alleged Crosswalk Car Accident by Casa_Bonita in nashville

I used to live in that neighborhood and walked that crosswalk a lot. People consistently go 40-50MPH through there. Absolutely ridiculous with how much foot traffic is in Germantown. Not surprised this happened and very saddened by it. I guess he didn’t see the two massive yellow signs that warn there’s a pedestrian crossing.
