Wow! I have an awesome crew!! With snow n rain looming on the horizon at the end of February they kicked it into high gear today and stayed at that steady pace all day long.  We even had extra hands just to lift the block into place while Joel and Bob made sure the placement of each block was straight and secure.  Bob also was responsible for all the logistics and staging of material to ensure a smooth process.  I thought I had the easy job…..makin sure we had enough of the drainage rock for behind the wall.  I hauled and delivered over 50 tons of it and hustled to keep up.  As the crew was building the retaining wall, it was imperative to keep it straight as well as mix the custom blend sizes of block.  After each 2 courses they installed and backfilled with the clear stone and installed a perforated drain tile at the base to alleviate water pressure.  By the end of the day, we had used up all the block on-site and the rain had started. 

Over 500 sq ft of block wall installed in one day….. an awesome feat for the crew on any day, but to do it with these weather conditions was simply amazing….. Funny, those were Steve’s words when he called that night, totally amazed and happy that his wife had picked the block color!!…….
