During Construction

 
The raw product: 5 gallon buckets destined for the landfill.

Trench is backfilled and tamped to hold stacks vertical.

Buckets stacked in trench. Horizontal reinforcing bars keep stacks aligned. 

Stacks are wrapped in wire mesh (in this case repurposed fencing).

The first cement is applied.

The bucket lids are used to fill in spaces between the bucket stacks and as fillers to shape the wall.
