    How do I properly build a retaining wall/stucco wall with wood
    I don't want to use the block/bricks to build a retaining wall, but I would rather frame the retaining wall with wood to construct columns and other feathers (possible insert water fountain into construction). Using rebar to tie in the retaining wall to the existing slab/foundation so that is doesn't shift or move on me later. I hope this clarifies or explains my intentions. Email;[email protected]

    Can you provide a drawing? By feathers, I assume you mean features. And using rebar to tie wood to concrete? Sorry, can't follow your intentions. Height of wall?
