    If that's their idea of how to build a retainer wall, you have to suspect there's some serious Dunning–Kruger going on — at the engineering level.

    One of the reasons why I questioned the bracing on the wall forms I know OSB is supposedly stronger than plywood but At 14 ft in height to me at least there appears to be a lacking in bracing. We'll just have to wait to see how many through ties they put to hold the inside form to the outside form
    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products
