An Unusual End To An Unusual Life

 

1. Probably had a damn stroke. Fascinating take on the box thing though. Proves you can make millions with dull boring inventions too.

2. Sad that our media is more intent on a second by second dissertation on the latest arrest of that pathetic Lohan creature or the latest rantings of that Gaga abomination - than perhaps letting Americans know what other Americans are doing to make the World a better, safer and more interesting place.

   Those hesco barriers look quite useable as our backyard slowly slides down the hill to the creek - too much rain this year - even overwhelmed the drainage system.

3. You betcha Wardmama. Stabilize them and anchor them with rebar driven several feet into the ground and sticking several feet up into the bastion. Then have them filled with really large aggregate concrete. Wa La, a permanent wall. Lay seeping pipe underneath them first, extending several feet on the uphill and downhill sides. Backfill most of the uphill side slope with gravel for drainage and then 2 feet of soil at the top. Bet you could even mortar pavers or stucco to the front face to make it pretty. The whole edifice would be one gigantic lateral trench drain.
