Last weekend the wife and I moved a bunch of rocks we have in stashes around the place and built this retaining wall. After our driveway was put in, I had graded a ditch along the high side a couple years ago. Over time the ditch filled in with dirt. So, I graded it in again then we placed the rocks. We have about 8 hours into it. The wife is going to plant some type of ground cover along the rocks. It was a fun project.
You are definitely making a beautiful place to chill out. You guys have done a ton of work there, but I don't suppose it feels so much like work does it.... Very nice.
