We hit a Buried Line -on the Last job of the season.

What happens here

The top course of cap blocks was carefully placed on the finished retaining wall. Each cap block was precisely aligned to create a smooth, level surface. Construction adhesive was applied underneath each cap block to permanently bond them to the wall, creating a 'no-gap' top that enhances both the structural integrity and the aesthetic appeal of the completed window well.

Goal: The final step involved installing the top cap blocks, carefully aligning them, and securing them with construction adhesive to create a durable and aesthetically pleasing finish.
