Work on the retaining wall continues with a lot of shimming and adjusting to these concrete blocks.

There is absolutely no need for those concrete blocks to be different in size, the forms they use are standard. All it means is that they haven't prepared the forms properly, they should be cleaned after each use and re oiled so the concrete doesn't stick. Like you say it's a shame, your trying to make something look nice for the customer. You buy this product as its easy to use, no concrete foundations and no cement work. Rant over! 🤗 Really nice job, like you say you won't know if the leak is fixed until it rains. Apart from putting the building up on stilts or building a moat, don't think there is anything you could do.

I just installed 140 of those on a wall on my property. The first 80 blocks they delivered were pretty good but the last 60 were pure crap. Some of them were out as much as 2 inches from one side to the other.

Hi Mike, nice channel and content. I always enjoy watching you all work. Please be safe with the chain lifting and Matt under the blocks. I used to do a lot of heavy manufacturing and lifting with chains and we had our chains inspected and re-rated or replaced as needed. Just want you guys to be safe. happy New Year for 2023!

Now that turned out so much nicer than I thought it would I knew you both were good, but after watching for quite some time, I now believe you are way better than I thought, thanks Mike and Matt, and Matt when moving that size stone around try a tar rake, just a one footer head, you might find it easier than the spade, I know, I know you both can never find the right tools and more than likely have tons of them, so Mike maybe a bit better organisation this year.
