Note to builders- Better leave some bracing on while the concrete cures. (Chalk it up as a live and learn / build and learn lesson.)

I’ve poured a lot of concrete and built a lot of forms in my day. “The wall” is one hell of a “wind sail” which equates into tremendous pressure. Concrete is dynamic.

Let’s go!

Never mind the mule, load the wagon!

BUILD THAT WALL!
