Default Retaining Wall Construction

Pressure wash 2x6 to show the grain. Back form is 1x6 fir......will not be
seen. 2x6 was coated with form release and vibrated.
Poured yesterday.....waiting for results on Mon.
Form had problems with expanding...when poured....I thought i had over
braced and tied it......
you can never overbrace a concrete form.
you can only underbrace it....
Lesson learned many years ago, and still learning.....

I don't envy you on that project. Lot's of work there and usually a
difficult environment to work in.
