With SRW block walls, we use geogrid – a plastic grid that comes in rolls – to tie the wall and the backfill together. One face is visible, the other face is buried under whatever the wall is holding back. Retaining walls: these are walls built to retain soil behind them. They interlock together, speeding up installation.
Segmental Retaining Wall block (aka SRW block) : these are manufactured blocks, designed to fit together using pins, lips, or adhesives (or some combination of these three). Every catalog is jammed with walls, and I’m here to tell you that if you want a freestanding or seat wall built from segmental/interlocking block, I’m gonna talk you out of it. Now we dream of epic barbecues as we flip through the books, picturing all those thousands of square feet in our own yards. Vocal, but not coordinated, which is why this never showed up under the treeĪs adults, we’ve given up toy catalogs and our imaginations are fueled by paver catalogs.
I’m guessing when my dad used the pages to light the fire Chirstmas morning, it was even more intoxicating for him. Pawing through the pages and imagining the epic GI Joe battles and Lego creations was intoxicating. I’m just old enough that I remember the Christmas Wish Book, that fat, glossy, full-color catalog – was it from Sears? – loaded with toys and other stuff to fuel my suburban childhood whining.
