I did, and now again. I saw the weep holes. Unless you're talking about the side walls, I don't see em'. Did you use a mesh?

4x6 timber lock into the wall and ran back and attached to the 4x6 laying 2 feet in the back rebared into the earth. I thought the 4x6 was visible in the pic. I just realized the deadmen are not visible. I swear they are in there

Normally you can see the end grain of the dead men in the face of the wall.

I know I can't see for shiit but where are they? Did the get notched into the back face so even a good eye couldn't see them?

Rory, invest in a 10" saw if you are going to do more of this kind of work. It will go faster and there won't be that double cut look to deal with.

I think the wall looked like it was in the Ghetto and Rory used Ghetto tools and ghetto methods to construct it. Looks like it was always there. Did you leave a spot for the crack drop-off?

I like Rory and I was trying to spare his feelings.

The ghetto thing is a bit over the top Warner

That being said, it was not a very skilled carpenter that built that wall. But if the customer is happy and Rory made his Vodka money, then who the heck are we to judge anyway.

Oh yeah thats what we do here.

There were too many guys that tried to sell me foakley's and folex's from the inside of thier trench coats. Creeped me out.

They are butted up to the timber and screwed in with a simpson timber screw. I don't like seeing the timber in the wall. I thought I had a picture with them. then we lay them on the back timber and run a rebar through it front and back into the ground. Trust me you won't hurt my feelings that is the first time I touched a saw in 5 years and I made the cuts with a ryobi skill saw.

The truth never hurts Gus.

I will post pictures of anything and everything. Someone like Gus gives me a suggestions or shows me something I missed I will make a note of it. I am glad to pick up new tips. I haven't touch my tools in years so I am getting back in the swing and to top it off we did not use a chop saw.

I was doing some work in Bmore and the job came from a property owner we work for. I bought a saw in home depot and went to work while I was up there

It was a last minute gig while I was up in Baltimore. The wall is rock solid even if it is not pretty.
