The project entailed creating three retaining walls. To do this, we used concrete. We first dug a hole that was about a foot deep and put a two-foot post in it. We then poured quikrete + water around it until it dried. Afterward, we put dirt back on top. We did this for 5 more posts. Each pair of posts was distanced 8 feet from each other. Next, we nailed a wooden board to each pair of posts. I put two lag screws in per post. Lastly, I put in the backfill.

I appreciate all the donations and volunteers that helped me
complete the project. I especially want to thank Mr. Vinay Bhonde,
Aditya Bhonde, Prabhav, Ameya, and Taran. They helped me a lot,
doing various tasks, like carrying heavy bags of concrete on a
slope, shoveling dirt, and pouring water. With their help, I was
able to successfully build three retaining walls that will have a
lasting impact on the area.
