I think it looks mighty fine for something cobbled together in a day. It
works great! What do you think?

I have done two jobs with those kind of blocks you describe. Unless you got
what you have for free or close to that one usually purchases the necessary
half blocks with the initial order. I don't recall all that well perhaps
there is a whole block with a double middle you cut or crack. The other
end on my applications just ended up kind of like a stair way. Probably
more rain around here, fill the voids with pea stone, tie back into the
bank by putting a hammer drill hole and steel rod going back into the bank
as needed. Cap the top with a thin layer of small aggregate concrete. Pea
stone and drainage perforated pipe at bottom in the bigger job.

Those blocks weren't cheap, the smaller job where I bought them I got a
discontinued color/texture and I bet a pick up loaded would have been about
$500. Personally I think you should think about water on the diamond blade.

Cool!

"First Law of Leftist Debate
The more you present a leftist with factual evidence
that is counter to his preconceived world view and the
more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without
losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot,
homophobe approaches infinity.

This is despite the thread you are in having not mentioned
race or sexual preference in any way that is relevant to
the subject." Grey Ghost

Was wondering the same thing.

Hey, if it works, it's a block splitter. If not, I can always use it for a
log splitter.
