How to build a retaining wall.

couldn't you just have pounded those rebar in?
tried that. not a chance. Even the one that wasn't coated in concrete (on the top anyway) didn't go anywhere. The 2 outer ones were at LEAST 3/4", and I'd say closer to 1". The center one was smaller at maybe 3/8 or 1/2", so I just bent the center one over with the sledge.
 
the whole area is spotty right now, big storms are popping out though as we speak. hopefully it doesn't hail.
 
Its pouring, I hope E got at least a course or 2 down....

where is it raining? we didn't get anything here.

Nothing here, just a brief, light sprinkle. I currently have two courses of block down with one course of backfill. Getting ready to put a little more fill in and then set the drain tile. I'm seriously dying out there today. I think it's just too many days in a row. It was fun until today. I seriously feel ill. I'm going to eat and see how I feel.

Crybaby. You need to figure out how that draintile is going to connect.
 
I was just in Waukesha by school, their was nothing their. Muskego is dry also.
 
So......death toll for my wall so far............one vole (Santos was witness), and one sparrow, which I killed today with a BB gun after it WOULD NOT SHUT UP for the last 4 days. Today it just kept chirping like I was disturbing it's nest for over two hours, while I was trying to level block, which is very frustrating as is. It's nest is at least 25 ft. away in a bird house. I just cracked dude. I won't kill anything, but I guess even I have limits.
