Building a Retaining Wall: Day 9

Starting the day with measuring our rebar and making sure we can get them down all the holes.

Here is a shot of out epoxy coated rebar that we are using.

Mike is putting a few more of the 10" spikes into the corner to make sure it's solid.

Here is another shot of the corner, there is still a few lose ends sticking out that will need to be trimmed. 

Here is a shot of the return, hopefully it ties in well with the walkway.

The corner has been trimmed and its looking pretty mint if you ask me.

Here it is up to the right height now and its time for grouting in the dowels into the dead man beams.

Mike is cutting the rebar down to the proper length with a 5" angle grinder with a zip disc on it.

Unfortunately the holes are filled with up with water. We have attached a metal rod onto the end of an air hose and we plan to blow the water out.

I'm pouring the grout into the hole, I fill the hole all the way up before putting the rebar in.

Here is a video of our air hose contraption at work, its amazing.
