Lay and Level First Block Course

alright so this is where it all comes down to the first layer is always the hardest in the most because it sets the tone and the pace for the rest of the wall if you screw up the first layer the rest of the wall is going to be crooked and it's just gonna follow that there's no fixing that so take your time and catch a breathe and really think what you're doing when it comes to installing or setting them gently place it right over the sand use a little torpedo or small little level to ensure that it's not tilting left to right or back to front once it's in place then it's set the rest of them kind of become a little bit easy in the sense that just but up the next one to the right of it or to the side of it and then work your way from making sure that it's balanced from that point on certain areas will need a little bit of extra love so use a little rubber mallet to give it a few taps to ensure that it sets right in place and then just continue your line making sure that it doesn't go above or below that string that you set up earlier [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] now retaining walls they fail for many
