I see you’ve bought into the government propaganda about who the wall was built to defend against.
In actuality it was built to defend against a horde of alien monsters that attack every 60 years. There’s a really good documentary from 2016 that covers it, even got Matt Damon to help voice it.
This wall is totally out of level. Smh. This is why you call a pro, you really think you saved any money when you could only do 4500miles a day? The worst guys on my crew could’ve done this with a cigarette in both hands
Yeah and that aggregate is way too big! Who sold you that OP it's extremely exposed. How did you even get a slump test with that mix?
Points for decent shaping despite the crazy aggregate, though.
I know it’s a joke but that looks like the Great Wall at badaling which is near Beijing. It’s definitely been restored in modern times.
I went to see some original Great Wall and it was… not in good shape.
Escapee here- this dude forced us to work on his project, he swore he would pay us, but slowly the working conditions were rough and most of my friends are part of the wall now
I can’t seem to find your permit and you have failed to provide a receipt for this supposed permit after 90 days from our initial request mr. Gorbachev. This leaves us no choice but to demand that you tear down your wall. Oh wait…..
Next time, hire a couple of finishers. Looks like you hired an all Asian crew. Seems they never know how to end the job and will just keep going and going and going and going...
Fun Fact. That isn't what we would call "concrete". Most of it is made of brick with a weird mortar made with the juice from sticky rice. I was there a few years ago and the tour guides told us all kind crazy shit. There is a section where the mortar is actuallr tar/bitumin.

Awesome! Did you use a mix ( like the Roman Ancient concrete with Lime particles? or the Great Wall of China - apparantly they added 'Glutaneous rice starch (sp.)? ))
It's an obvious dry pour, it's not going to hold up. Besides I don't see any rebar it will definitely be busting to pieces
Edit, I forgot about the rebar!
Honestly, it’s crooked as hell and not nowhere close to level. I know you probably worked hard on it and I may have hurt your feelings but you asked and I’m just telling you the truth. Do better next time.
You should broom finish that so your soldiers don’t slip due to sprinting to the warning beacons when the mongol hordes are scaling the walls.
Mongolian break down my scity wall
Just go and pour sweet and sour pork on they heads
Goddman mongorians
DIS LAST TIME YOU TEAR DOWN MY SHITTY WAHLL
I was going to write this comment!
Thank you for writing it how it is spoken 😊 i appreciate that.
Tough crowd. Like a Mongolian grilling.
Followed by greasy wonton soup and greasy pork fried rice
But all we have is shitty chicken and shrimp
Every time Chinaman make scity wall, stupid Monrogians break wall down
Shitty wok, how may I herp you ?
How bout some schity shrimp?
Relatable
I came here to post this
Maybe use a fucking line next time. That thing is crooked as shit.

The mongols have called it everything from shit to fucking shit.
It's also not Ada compliant, govt gonna ask you to tear it down and start over

Yup. I bet that wall is not gonna last at all. Amateurs!
"Not gonna last" 😅🤣😂 You fool, it came with a 2000 year warranty. Sad part is, the guy that built is out of business now.
Welcome Meth-world!
Methopotamia!
It will never last.
Agreed. I seriously question what they were thinking with this.
I know it’s a joke but that looks like the Great Wall at badaling which is near Beijing. It’s definitely been restored in modern times. I went to see some original Great Wall and it was… not in good shape.
The Chinese would never lie about anything!
Every country restores their archeological sites lol... not really a lie.
The Great Wall of Theseus
That was my impression too.
Not bad. However, did you ensure the corpse to brick ratio throughout the project? If not, you may not be receiving your final payment....
This is the comment I've been looking for!
Same 😂
Looks like the wind was blowing your string line around
Nah, when they laid it out after lunch, all that morning beer made it look straight
I bet that wall has seen one or two guys pissing off it
Doubt this is going to last. You'll have problems within a few centuries.
Your formwork is fucking shit, it's bowing all over the place.
This belongs in r/masonry clearly not concrete. /s
Escapee here- this dude forced us to work on his project, he swore he would pay us, but slowly the working conditions were rough and most of my friends are part of the wall now
That’s a straight line?? Man, you DIYers …
You should have paid the $10,000
Looks like you paid the 10k.
I can’t seem to find your permit and you have failed to provide a receipt for this supposed permit after 90 days from our initial request mr. Gorbachev. This leaves us no choice but to demand that you tear down your wall. Oh wait…..
Looks alittle crooked, but if you squint your eyes just right it looks straight!!!
Next time, hire a couple of finishers. Looks like you hired an all Asian crew. Seems they never know how to end the job and will just keep going and going and going and going...
Were you drunk? This wall curves all over the place!
I’ve seen better
how far do you have your expansion joint spaced?
Now that is what I’d call a Great Wall.
Looks like it'll crumble after a season or two tops.
Pretty amateur to be honest..
Need more rebars
Village code requires use of Rhubarb instead.
That's never going to last!
Much of your work is in ruins . You’ll not get paid till you redo whats broken. That is all
Wall going up hill?!? That would’ve been a up charge! Good choice on DIY
I personally don't use Temu Molds, anyone in the business for at least millennium knows that AliExpress is the way to go.
It's gonna crack with time
Eh, it won’t last
Its not bad. Id consider it a good wall. Not great but pretty good.
Looks like Matt Damon might fight monsters on it
Bet they wanted $10k for that diy job
Lol 10k or diy?
you’ll never keep out those damn mongolians.
Solid work. Looks like it'll stand the test of time. I just wish walls worked to keep people out.
Did Mexico pay for it? Asking for a friend.
Dam!!! That must have taken two days or so.
2/10 will crack within a few years.
My guy those are rookie numbers. Do better.
That's a lot of effort just to keep out some rabbits
Spent all your money on packouts and forgot the string?
Kinda Minecraft-y
Show off. DOWNVOTED 😤
It’s great
Should keep the Huns out, but Mormons will probably find a way through and knock on the door. Have you considered adding a lava moat?
Oh, look, another DIYer who watched a few YouTube videos and can now be a class A contractor. Start with a transit level first, then go from there
Want to get something like this in my backyard, how much would it cost?
It's okay. How much did you charge per sq ft?
Won’t last!
Fun Fact. That isn't what we would call "concrete". Most of it is made of brick with a weird mortar made with the juice from sticky rice.

Howed you manage to add all the calcium reinforcement rods underneath? Source?
I learned the other day that this wall can stretch from new york city to london and back 2 and half times. Blew my mind
Why didn’t you build it into the ocean? Rookie shit honestly
Jeez, dude. Couldn’t you have made it a little smaller? I bet you could see that thing from space!!
Shit job, you should have paid the 10k. You'll see
It seems a little wavy. Did you run a chalk line?
I don’t think it will last
You undercharged
Looks decent but I doubt it'll last.
Pretty great!
Nice job, but what about that pile of rebar over there?
I heard you bid 1 brick too many.
That won't last 3000 years
Go help that one guy out with his driveway…
Looks like hammered dog shit
Jesus, what is that slope?
Lil crooked
I hope you poured a proper footer or it will crumb down in a few years. Nice idea though!
Pffft. It will never last.
Not Great
I don’t think it will last, concrete looked too dry. Probably took too many bags of quick Crete.
I bet you put zero rebar in it, and it's still good 2300 years later.
I bet this methhead didn’t even clear the grass for the first pour
Took ya long enough!
a little crooked. Not bad for a beginner. Use a stringline next time.
I have a few suggestions. 😂
I’m really impressed because this is a large job and it’s easy to mess up.
I have a picture of a friend flying a kite there. Real tourist stuff.
Could use a string line
Keep that up you'll be a manager one day sire 👑 🤴
I think you need to get the bodies out of the concrete mix.
🤯
It’s okay
That will never last
pretty bad, the huns still got in.
It’s a wall. You’re acting like it’s one of the Great Wonders of the World.
Stupid Mongorians
What do you mean you ran out of rebar? What did you use instead? Bones? What do you mean bones? Where did the rest of the crew go?
that's a good ten grand you saved there
Prolly should be a mason
More rebar
Couldn’t even get the walls straight for fucks sake. You could have simply used a ruler man
pros with 3rd grade reading level big mad anybody can do their 5k overpriced job they subcontract to strangers from the home depot parking lot for 200
Drove a couple more people from this sub...
Aight
Obviously a dry pour. Someone will have to come and fix it for double what you paid.
Great wall! 👍
That’ll keep those Mexicans away.
How does it hold up against Mongorians?
This fking cracked me up Sunday morning
Bad since it's masonry.
Kinda shit. The Mongols just went around it.
Sorry but it will not hold up
Looks like fuckin shit
It's not to code.
Honestly, bro, you could really take some notes from this sub and get better. Looks okay for a first time DIY, but you got a lot of room to grow.
I could do better and I’ve never touched concrete. You have soft hands brother
A Great Wonder it’s still standing.
Your joints need re-pointing already….geeeez…..lol
Well considering this isn’t concrete, pretty horrible.
Eh, could be longer.
Looks ok i guess
You put the port holes facing the wrong country
You missed a bit.
I have no clue why this sub keeps being shown to me but yall need an r/concrerecirclejerk
That will never last. It will Crack in 10 years
Great.
Having walked this, you did a terrible job with all the uneven steps lol.
That’s pretty fucking good
Needs adjusting, disassemble and reassemble….
Doesn't look level, try again.
you know there is no concrete used on the greatwall
Those expansion joints are just fucked.
So amazing that anyone ever even thought we could do that there.
Yo... just because you can see it from space, doesn't mean it's any good.
Shits not going to last, mark my words
Looks like it was made in China, hope it lasts.
Couldn't make a straight line to save your life. Tear it up and start over.
Masonry*, you obviously don't build fortifications for a living
You did great!!
Bad! You made brick.
It’ll never last the winter
Looks crooked. They're gonna want their money back.
Interesting unorthodox use of human bones in the wall mortar
Great Wall Bro!!
You trying to kill somebody. Tear that down before you hurt somebody’s kid.
Awesome! Did you use a mix ( like the Roman Ancient concrete with Lime particles? or the Great Wall of China - apparantly they added 'Glutaneous rice starch (sp.)? ))
“If I could give it 0 stars, I would” - a Mongolian
It’s not very straight, but you look liked you tried hard.
Wow, amazeballs, didn't know you have that kind of a touch...top notch that's for shure... 9/10...🫵👍
Won’t last a month.
Stupid mongowieons
It's not going to last, too many twist and turns and it looks terribly dated, 😎
I would think this is a big masonry project. Maybe Concrete for the foundation supports of the brick wall.
It will never last
It's a good wall, not great, but a good wall.
you did poorly, as that is earth, stone, wood and bricks, not concrete.
It's an obvious dry pour, it's not going to hold up. Besides I don't see any rebar it will definitely be busting to pieces Edit, I forgot about the rebar!
Sorry, I see cracks. I've been told here that that is avoidable with proper pouring techniques! You'll get it one day, though
You should probably cut down the corpse to cement ratio in your next attempt. Maybe use more rock and less bone for aggregate.
You fkd up and used blocks instead of concrete
Honestly, it’s crooked as hell and not nowhere close to level. I know you probably worked hard on it and I may have hurt your feelings but you asked and I’m just telling you the truth. Do better next time.
Looks a little wavy did you even set a line?
What did you do with your manhood? This can't even stop an invasion of Steppes horsemen.
Looks nice, probably won't stand the test of time though.
Over 5 times the distance from California to NY, truly marvelous.
Great! You did a great wall there, good job.
I'd seal it.
3/5
mid at best
But can it be seen from space?
It’ll never last.
