Retaining Wall Pour

After our inspection on friday, we were all set to pour on Saturday. With rebar in place and all leveled out, we poured the horizontal mat. Since there is a horizontal and vertical portion, this was done easier with 2 separate pours. Just by digging the earth out, we did not need much formwork for the first portion. 

On sunday, we set up our formwork and poured the vertical part. We soon discovered that the formwork we used was not strong enough and would have to make adjustments to it. We hope to finish it next weekend.
