Mike thanks for sharing these progress pics! I didn't seem to notice any footings? Something like that I Spose the weight will hold it all in place?

No dont count on that ever. There are sonotube footings you cant realy see them.

Oh is that what the black plastic tubing is laying around? Man looking at ur pics gives me some good piece of mind that I'm on the right track with my wall next time though I just gotta get some more sharper angels goin in my armature mines a bit to curved but the overall idea is on track I think. I'm hoping to get my first lot of carve coat on tomoz but it's pissing down rain here tonight so the sand at my local landscape yard is gonna be all wet so tossing up weather to go buy bags of mortar mix but I think it will end up way more expensive that way.

The black plastic is actually drain pipe, sonotubes are buried. Wet sand is fine just add less water. Post some pics of your progress.
