The Wall... Continued

We redesigned how the wall curves after Travis dug the dirt out, so he had a whole lot of dirt to fill in and compact. Thanks to a day of renting the "Wacker" vibratory rammer, that area was filled in. He is using a manual dirt tamper in the other areas.

Travis got me to operate it a little too, just so I could say I used the "Wacker." I wasn't too good at it in the time that I used it, but I could probably get the hang of it. I've used a jack hammer and a floor buffer in the past, so it's a similar concept - don't muscle it and let the machine do the work for you.

The big area that required the "Wacker."
