What happens here

After placing multiple courses of blocks and adding drainage gravel, it's time to backfill the area behind the wall with native soil. Use a skid steer with a bucket attachment to carefully push soil into the space behind the wall. Once the soil is in place, use a plate compactor to compact it thoroughly. This compaction helps stabilize the wall and prevents future settling. Continue this process, building up courses, adding drainage gravel, backfilling with soil, and compacting until the desired height is reached.

Goal: Fill the area behind the wall with native soil and compact it for stability.

Tools and materials

got to fill those spots and fast with people that have that same mentality and that is a rarity an absolute Rarity to be able to find that team that clicks and coalesces that right there if I can tell you nothing else build that team that coalesence that clicks that has that same drive and that same motivation and you will go anywhere you want you will do anything you want because the the guys I know that built the billion dooll Corporation our friend friends of mine and they're not amazing people they're they're nothing special I mean they're motivated they're driven but they're not like these Einstein they're not like smarter than you or I not by any mean but what they had was this strengthen numbers and they worked together and they built each other up I don't care who you are find your team that complements your weakness and creates a hole right you got to find people that fill in the gaps like me I'm two steps forward run go FL bam slam just go as fast and hard as you can and Timmy on my team is like whoa whoa whoa whoa he puts the brakes on he looks at things technically he analyzes things and although that drives me insane 90% of the time I also 100% of the time respect him for that he's the one that puts the balance in in my business and without him I wouldn't have gotten where I was at plain and simple and now we have another member of the team Alex who helps balance Timmy out as well so as I graduate onward and upward Timmy needed somebody to balance him and that's where Alex came in they are the perfect union so that's how you need to build your team that will take you further than anything that's the best advice I could ever ever give anybody out there find your team believe in your team make sure you're on the same page as your team and make sure that your team understands that you really do truly appreciate them and do appreciate them because you ain't going anywhere without them
