I guess someone thought that this was a great solution to their problem. The sequence probably went like this...
1. Side of hill falls into road
2. Owner realizes there is a problem.
3. Someone tells him to get a contractor to fix it.
4. Calls one, but he tells them they need an engineer first.
5. Owner realizes what an engineer costs.
6. Gets a couple 12 packs and sits around with his construction worker buddies, or buddies that used to be in construction, or buddies that knew someone that used to be in construction, or buddies that once watch some construction work.
7. Went for more beer.
8. Someone decided that they needed to built a retaining wall thing. They just were not all that sure how to amke a form to hold the concrete in place, and the concrete is really expensive, and that's a lot of work, and...
9. Went for more beer.
10. Decided that concrete in the sack will harden by itself if left long enough. And they saw sandbags stacked up once on the news. The group then decided they had a plan.
11. Went for more beer, and a couple runs to Home depot.
Here's the final project by the "Good Enuff Construction Company"
The photo does not really show it, but this hill is really steep.
