Been working towards wall completion in our spare time...finally 99% done...need more backfill, etc.
Old wall...not so good...cracks, leaning, and would cost a fortune to restore by a masonry repair outfit. Cheaper to simply replace with new...
Rented hvy. equipment and driver...he did a precision strike.
Then cleaned it out for fill.
Had block delivered and gravel and 2A modified as we went along
2 week plus gig...because we were working at the other site many days, finally done around lunchtime today.
Now matches the other side we did last year. Was a 2 year project all along...finally have walls, hope to do driveway in pavers this fall if all goes well finishing the other site. I like stone. It is French drained on both sides...old jammed and semi crushed terra cotta pipes lead to the old wall's downfall at 54 yrs.

worked all day.. thought this was going to be a super easy job. the contractor told me i had to run some pex so i thought, sweet.. easy day lol... nope. had to dig a trench through a basement. that alone took me almost 3 hours. i called up the contractor and was like.. dude you should really hire out some other people to do this. itd cost him like 100 bucks tops with someone else. for me to do it, it cost him 300 just in digging that trench. pain in the ass fucking job. he told me it was all ready for me and shit. i had to frame out the bathroom to just run my lines and shit. super small area. everything was in my way. ripped my handle off my pliers 
lol. and the home owners didnt even have their AC on.. hot as a motherfucker. today was a kick around my tools and curse the whole job kinda day. and i broke the relief valve on their waterheater to get pressure off the hot pipe lol. had to replace that for free too. fun day..
job doesnt look like a hassle, but holy fuck.. everything that could go wrong did.

They wanted 22K to restore those walls last year...driveway is over 100' long.
New ones were half that AND...driveway is now 8' wider
.We can build...restoring is not what I'm good at.

A bit of painting (after murdering the mould w/ vinegar) & some cove base install in the arctic entry of our apartment.
Have to go looking for a renter now - that's the worst part.

i hate pex.. the pipe itself isnt too bad. but if you really look at the picture i got straps everywhere to try to straighten it out. it comes in a roll so the memory of it sucks. its all bendy and wavy. the reason i hate pex is because it was my only insurance claim. 19 thousand. but my insurance company went after the company who made the fittings and got the money back. the fitting was crimped right and everything but the fitting blew apart. that was on a flip house so noone was home when it happened. lol a 3/4" fitting blew and water ran a whole night. when the guy who owned it called me he was actually laughing about it. when i got there water was still running down the street. all the cabinets, doors.. basically everything touching the floor soaked in the water
