The rock again has been progressing quite a bit in the past week as you can see in the picture of the columns below. For those of you that are very observant, you will also notice that we put up another section of railing on the deck.
We also had a neighbor come in with his bobcat and move some dirt for us so that I would have an easier time with the next rock retaining wall. If you look at previous pictures, you will see that there were big dirt piles on the right hand side. Well, those piles now went up above to rock retaining wall on the right hand side so that there is a nice slope away from the house. It was amazing how fast that bobcat moved the dirt. If Trav and I did it by shovel and wheelbarrow, we would probably be working on it for 2 weeks or more!
It's amazing how much of a difference it made to have that dirt moved. We could really start to picture how our landscaping would come together. The neighbors were interested too - I think almost all of them drove by at one time or another to check it out.
The following picture gives a little perspective for the height of the wall and is the token Mocha picture for this post:) I did get a start on the next wall and hope to have it completed by the next week. Stay tuned as we put in another week of hard work!
