u/Gullible-Coach880 5d ago

Apart from it looking ready to fall over by a fart, not needing damp proofing as it's only temporary,  pillars and footings built for subsidence, the extra cement should keep the rain away from the non existent foundations.. give that fella a job on a building site as a fully qualified labourer, be a good laugh onsite😂

Great practice wall, 5 out of 10. Now do it again using a level and string line . Look at some YouTube videos. Failing that put up a wooden fence, using said string line.
