I'm sorry. Was I drunk, disoriented or absent the day you were put in
charge?

So how come the two of you (in this thread) did not even come close to
answering OP's question?

I built a small retaining wall out of used RR ties about 28 yearfs ago.
The ties were well used at that time and they still weighed over 100 lbs
each. There were a B _ _ ch o handle alone, but with a helper it wasn't
too bad.

how long do they last? home is about 30 years old, wall must be same
age...


My house was built in 1986 and the front yard was landscaped with RR
ties. I'm in the central valley of CA (HOT, bone-dry summers; wet,
foggy, cool winters.

As of the last few years, the RR ties are deteriorating badly. Totally
infested with roaches and other bugs, albeit no termites.

I guess 22 yrs isn't bad, but the bug infestation isn't pleasant.
