Absolutely beautiful work. If I didn’t live so bloody far away, I would offer my services as “shop gofer” with hopes of gleening some of your trade secrets and pointers.

What three days of work gets me. Blocks 20-60# each. Had so walk them 40' and load into the truck, move truck and off load block. Trench for gravel base in a hard rock infested bits of earth. Stack block, pin with fiberglass rods. And for desert, move several tons of 3/4" crushed rock to back fill wall. One shovel full a a time. I stopped counting round trips after if felt like a thousand….[emoji849]

Only had 17 block left out of two pallets of left over block from the original wall project.

All in hopes of getting me into the mindset of the large block project of decorative garden walls[emoji6] all 13 pallets worth.
