Totally selected the wrong meme for the old title, but here we are.

This is just describing the last owner of our house.

Lol, my wife and I are having to deal with a retaining wall built in the 70s and left to rot. It was a cheap-ass railroad tie and wood retaining wall and if it's not fixed, our house will slide off a hill.

$170k to fix... When I said lol earlier, I meant I want to cry.

Damn, that's insanely expensive. I had an old railroad tie retaining wall I had to replace about 10 years ago. Quoted 8-10k to replace it with blocks. I did it myself for about $1,500 but it really sucked, and mine was just holding up part of the lawn. Good luck!
