    Love how you went the poured in place walls versus block, much stronger. Like how clean you have kept the job site, form work can be really messy. Walls look clean, straight and plumb. Great job! The homeowner should be very happy with your work.

    Nice but we're going to run out of sand for concrete in time. Use gabions...until we run out of stones.

    • @teresamexico309
      @teresamexico309 3 месяца назад +2

      Stone walls or gabions would have looked nicer than concrete yet buying the stones would make them expensive. I have a couple of gabions in my garden and I used river-stones for the exterior only because they are expensive and inside I used even some old concrete scraps that were around and whatever stone was sitting close by.
