They already make a modular styrofoam form that snaps together like that wired together that they pour the concrete into and leave in place. Saw it on This Old House few years ago
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
Concrete walls only leak because of poor drainage, not because of cracks.....

Saw it on This Old House few years agoBack at my wife's parents, a couple in town built their whole house out of these. I think with the right concrete, some form of rubberized waterproofing membrane on outside you'd be GTG. And what Shawn said.
More female logic today........

The pre-fab forms and pour would be great for your application- whether or not you can get the concrete truck, pump etc. to show up is the biggest question. Better than a block wall for sure!

Better than a block wall for sure!Mike, you drove that road...You know the dealI've already had one truck blow out a tire on the ride in. He told me there was no way a concrete guy would drive back in thereTwo things I learned right there1. I'm mixin my own crete2. I picked a pretty good spot!Wait till you see it next time...You won't recognize it!Sarge vs Trees: No competition!
This is gonna drive me nutz!

Now that sounds like a reasonable plan, my FIL in TN filled their block with Crete & rebar. It's pretty good that way Don.
so are you saying that the big concrete lego type blocks that kyle used for his retaining wall and that bob was telling us about are out of the question?
Transportation would be the killer there... and they're 2' thick, prob overkill for Big D's application
Got access to any cross ties or power poles? You could sink those very close together and sheet the exterior and damp proof the outside and backfill.
