I have finally gotten the first course of locks set. Seems that there is a shortage of people willing to take my money for work. I had my nephew jump in on the project but he didn't seem up to the task, he had worked in construction but not with masonry

I was tired of waiting for someone else to call and decided to take care of it myself. I'm not afraid of a challenge but really didn't want .y first attempt at laying blocks to be something I would look at for the rest of my life. I started on the back wall and just worked wat way around. The hardest part for me was trying to get the mixture to the right consistency, that's a trade secret I guess.

Once I set the second course I will fill the voids with concrete and set the "J" bolts for the walls.
