Worth, words of wisdom that almost matched verbatim that of a well informed peer here at work today. I think I'll look into the rental, which means I need to think through and plan my other four beds.
Anne, across the board, everyone I talk to is concerned about the idea of drilling into the retaining wall blocks. Concerns include: a one-inch carbide bit will shatter those blocks, those blocks will not hold the lever weight of the wall, the blocks will slip, etc. Now, I like the idea, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't just put the stakes down at the ground level at the base of the wall. The problem there is that I'll have stakes that are 2-3' lower at the bottom than the top of my bed. That might not matter in the end, depending on how I finish them off.
Well, I'll try and take some pics to show how things shaped up in the end.
Thanks all for the advice again.
