Anyone know where I might buy a #WallAnchor like this? We have a short, 70yo brick #RetainingWall that is leaning & quotes to replace are ~$20k! I think these would hold or even return the wall back into place. I am capable of doing the work, but I CANNOT FIND THEM FOR SALE ANYWHERE. I’ve found a bunch of companies that’ll provide quotes for the work, but not sell the kits alone.

Got some quotes on replacing our 3 retaining walls (2 rotting wood, 1 leaning brick). Probably ~100ft x 3ft altogether.

Holy financial fiasco, Batman.

I did a little bit of homework & - acknowledging I am not a professional nor am I discounting the sheer physicality of the work - I am wondering if I could do this myself in phases. Any #DIYers build/replace a #retainingwall & have advice? I honestly think the biggest constraint would be time to devote to it.

Touching down lightly here to say, Happy New Year! I cannot believe it has been so long since I posted here. Though I post often on IG, a habit I suppose, I am not so often on here. I love this platform but it stopped working on my phone, that is probably why. How is everyone?!

In my catching up mode, here are three good things...

1. My #HouseReno is coming along beautifully and the #RetainingWall I was so worried about is being reconstructed today. Though it was supposed to all be done by the middle of last August, a combination of delays, weather and adding more items to the scope, have extended the schedule. It's OK. I love it.
2. I'm well into my doctorate in business admin program (focus on #OrganizationalLeadership) and really enjoying it. For the most of each of the days and weeks leading up to an assignment being due, I feel like I'm grappling with concepts (I don't have an MBA; this is a #DBA). Then, in the hours before, during and after submitting an assignment, I think, "wow, that wasn't hard at all." I am learning!
3. Work is fascinating, daily, and I feel so fortunate to be connected to bright, solutions-focused people working in architecture and engineering. My projects are now spanning two countries and involving more #CarbonModeling and #Sustainability oversight. I do a lot of quality control reviews of #HistoricRestoration / #AdaptiveReuse sustainability-related projects. It is emerging.
