Latest: Engineer John Shaw (NMPE 5496) has reviewed and approved of this project. An engineers review isn't required to build one of these walls in our part of New Mexico, but it's great to know that our wall is structurally sound! Our wall is nearly complete! Almost all of the buckets are in place and we now know that the wall used 20,000 buckets. Lincoln County hauls it's waste some distance to a landfill and the buckets in this wall would have filled 5 semi trucks. This saved $5000 in transportation costs (which would have been paid for by the taxpayer) and $2,500 in landfill costs (also paid by the taxpayer). The whole project will cost $10,000 when complete (mostly in stucco costs); that's for a 600 foot wall 6 to 8 feet high! |
