    Decided to do something a little different this time around. I usually document my home projects with a lot of pictures, and of course, share it here with all of you. This project really wasn't anything fancy, just a lot of labor. I've put in over 200ft of retaining wall in the last three years at this place to fix the older pressure treated ones that were in place (as well as pour patios where the bricks were). This was my last wall, and I hopefully should be all done after this.

    I used my GoPro to document the build from start to finish. Most of the prep work was already done, so the actual build is stretched across 4 days (all REALLY humid days). I also didn't run the camera for the back filling portions. That was 10 tons of 1B all wheelbarrowed in from the other side of the house (fun).

    Anyways, nothing fancy, but I'm happy with how it turned out. Let me know what you think.

    Thanks everyone. Thought it would be more entertaining than just pictures.
