Insurance covered the damage inside but we are on notice to fix the retaining wall.All of the quotes came in the 15k range, and we are in the 8k range in terms of funds. So hubby says- “Let’s build a damn wall”.I’ll spare reddit my reservations- ya’ll know what can go wrong and why I’d be hesitant.type of wall hubby wants to buildHere are some pictures of our current 35+year retaining wall (we had some damage last year so there are some newer railroad ties on part of it- shitty quickie work)Never used imgur- if link fails - direct link https://ift.tt/2JxtIrQ it’s possible? I’m feeling a little intimidated. We are off for the summer so we do have the time, but we have never done anything like this.
