[Greenbuilding] Nexcem as a retaining wall

[Michael O'Brien]

Hi, Lynelle—

When we built our house with Durisol the rep told us in some countries the primary use of these blocks is for outdoor walls, like along highways. 

Best, Mike

I also have to fill in an area to the north of the house, a distance from the septic/ I don't want the block going to a landfill and moving them to Restore is not possible, so I'm wondering whether I can simply bury them as fill (at least they have a use here) or use them to construct the retaining wall without a lot of hassle (e.g. parging, etc).
