how to build a muro

It's sounds easy, but just wait! Here are the steps in case you want to build your very own tire retaining wall!

1. Get tires - a lot
2. Get dirt - a whole lot
3. Clear the ground & make it level.
4. Lay down tires & start cramming dirt in with your handy pala.
5. Repeat these steps over and over
6. Build a small cement volcano and shovel until your arms want to fall off.
7. Load said cement into any available bucket, barrel or bowl.
8. Make a lovely cement floor at the top of your muro and toss cement into all available holes in the wall.
9. Let dry.
10. Start over on some other part of the hill that is washing away with the rains.

All I have to say is that Pete, Mike & Shane are all amazing in my eyes. They worked like animals all week and absolutely gave all of their hearts. Good stuff.
