Good morning one and all. Today we're going to be fitting and building a tricky landscape and show you how we break it all down. But before we get into that, we got to let Trucker John vent about some traffic. All right. So, we were riding along riding with with the John the Trucker. Yep. And we were doing 65 having fun and then all of a sudden slammed on the brakes. We were just trucking along. We're bringing out uh the ASB and the new Miniac X to uh Blaine's site and we're like, "Oh crap, don't need to crush anybody holding a ton of ton of weight." It So now we're just stuck in traffic butting along. One stupid trooper with a car pulled over. That's what caused all of that. That's what caused all that. Yeah.

That is like quite a bit of slope that way and up that way. And the ASV just climbed up like nothing. They've been really busy while me and John are running around doing other things, getting all the materials and whatnot for BL and whatnot after delivering all the vehicles. But yeah, they got pretty much this wall starts right here. Got all the way down to where it's still intact. Yeah, no kidding. All the way to here. All right. So, what you're going to look at as we pull apart this retaining wall is the typical scenario that we run into and why we are replacing and repairing so many of them. So, you other landscapers, don't stop doing this. But if you're a customer, don't let them do this for you. What you're going to notice is these are hollow blocks. That means the
