Lots of my little projects over the last 30+ years have grown into big DIY things. As you know, any flat area in WV was made with a dozer and lots of diesel fuel. So a new retaining wall near the upper edge of our lot seemed like a good idea since the cement block put up in the 70's had fallen over. But these so called landscaping blocks sold are at about 15 lbs each, way too light to resist mother nature for long. Our carport needed help too. So I went to the outside edge and dug down to the base of a cement block wall which had self-demolished over the 20 years it had been there, opening up a ditch and stacking the clay above on the hill. Went on down another 8", and 18" wide, laid a 6" perf-pipe for additional drainage against the outer edge and started making a new footer. Poured it from a HF cement mixer, the $190 electric version. I made a clamshell mold to make these blocks that weighed 55 lbs each, same shape as the commercial version but with river aggregate inlaid in the face, making 6 at a time, about 3 mold refills a week, I was still working as this was in the middle '90's. Finally had them stacked up in front of the house, heavy enough to start breaking up the concrete walk/drive. Not quite 400 of them. Stacked them up on the new footer about 7, 5.75" layers deep. Made a good looking wall. Back filled most of the clay against the outside/back of it. After laying a sheet of 10 mill black plastic against the backside to make sure any water left by way of the perf pipe behind it. But we needed to do away with the carport and build a real garage so that Dee, who was then doing both the piano and after the organist retired, a huge pipe organ at our church. So she needed a place for the car that was in out of the weather, which was the impetus to build an attached 14x24 garage. The wall hadn't moved since I laid it up, and still hasn't, so I used the wall as the first 3.5 feet of the right wall and the rear wall, with the garage skeleton just sitting on it. All 2x6's on 24" centers, and very little in the way of anchors into a new slab about 8 to 9" deep except for the front wall. That was in 2008. Dee was by then retired and eventually gave up playing at church, so I started moving in machinery. Traded for a shorter car but even that hasn't been under cover since a tool cabinet, planer, workbench yadda yadda joined a table saw. Now I seriously need to clean house and the path from the back door to the garage door is only 3 feet wide at its widest. And that home made wall still hasn't moved. Neither has the garage despite a 112 mph wind in 2010 that took all 4 of our 45 foot pines out we had on the downhill edge of our lot, quite a bit of the houses shingles and 80 feet of privacy fence, $18k in damages all told. Yeah, living in WV has been a hoot. Now my Missus has maybe a year left, COPD, and I've turned into the care giver since she fell 2 years ago this coming Feb, and broken a hip, then managed to fall out of the recliner almost exactly a year later and broke the leg just below the knee joint of the same leg. Because she can't eat without crowding her lungs, she's down to around 80 lbs, never was anything but skinny. So I'm doing it all. My back is going away, I haven't been kind to it ever, and I'm now spending entirely too much time in this chair. But by and large its been fun since moving here in '84, and I wouldn't change that which I can't even if I could. Now I'd better go start some coffee and see what I'm fixing for breakfast. > Erik > > > _______________________________________________ > Emc-users mailing list > [email protected] > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users -- Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
