Hi Folks,

Looking for thoughts and ideas on labor sourcing to rebuild a block retaining wall on Rattlesnake. The wall is falling over due to my failure to build it properly 10 yrs ago.

I have to haul out a crap load of bagged stone (I have a pontoon) pull the old wall down, dig it back and well you know, build it correctly. I have one company quoting but they are booked out until fall and thought I'd give a shot at putting a crew together myself and leading the charge to get it done sometime before the 4th of July. Any ideas are appreciated, it's not a huge job maybe 70 blocks but need some strong backs for carrying the stone and digging. 4-6 guys could probably do it two days with a nice lunch break.

Thanks
