[papercreters] Pouring our last 4 foot high patio wall

This will be our last half wall and we thought it would be a good place to do like Judith has been doing, and that is to use papercrete blocks that have no other purpose and will help save papercrete. I put down a fresh bed of PC under each block before I set the block into it, that way it will be completely surrounded with fresh PC, I noticeed even though I wet the blocks first they still drew the water out of the fresh PC. The three I used are the first two block attempts from last year, using a press and a form to make them, they can be seen in my photo file, the one that is the same color of the wall is the one I sawed out of the old wall I poured last year in order to install a window buck. I am hoping all will work well and not cause the wall to crack or weaken. Only time will tell.
