[papercreters] Soil Test & Start of new wall

I just post a photo of my soil test, I should have done this about a
year ago when I first got the 15 ton of red-bed. I knew it was good clay
but I had no idea it was this good. There is no sand in the bottom of
the jar and very little sediment on the top. This stuff is almost pure
clay, it is the sample shown on my photo folder where I am holding some
in my hand. I also posted some photos of the first course of a new wall
for my patio, I'm going to try Doris and Ron's slip form method on this
one and see how I like it. I didn't have any rebar on hand so I just
drilled anchor holes and cut up some wire hangers, the idea is to keep
the wall from wanting to slip out at the bottom, I think it will work.
I'll also post some photos of my dream for this wall.
