Thanks, everyone is doing well.

Onto the seating wall. Ok, I've finished the rough wall, now it's onto the area drains. Notice the "tunnel drains" that I created by splitting a 2" pc of ABS down the middle and notching out the blocks. I got out the garden hose, and everything seems to work as planned.
Now, if I could get my better-half to finalize her choice for the stacked stone, we'll be in business.
BTW...eventhough the wall will have a finished height of 18" (including a 2", pre-cast top) it seems a little low. I was thinking about running another course of 4" block on top. That will make the finished height about 22". Any thoughts?
