    We have a bulkhead being installed I feel even though he said he’s a professional that the gaps are wrong he said the felt will fill in the gaps. please advise. I feel we are in a pickle. Husband and I are Retired Navy we saved money for this but don’t want to be taken to the bank for a job that’s not right. Also scared he’s gonna walk off the job. He’s broken two excavators now charging us extra says land has too many rocks and boulders.

    @kapnD Retaining wall on a canal lot, probably. The local permitting for these things in Florida is an absolute nightmare. A friend has put in a bunch on his rental properties on the Fl. east cost, and I have gotten to hear all about it. Most places only allow approved, engineered modular systems.

    @Bluebayou1031 call your building inspector and ask about it on the phone. Check with the BBB also. The whole thing looks iffy to me.
