January 18 -- New Wall Nearly Done

There should be a couple more courses laid, but this wall is nearly complete. We have set it out a bit farther to accommodate a lawn mower to maintain the grass between the driveway and the wall.

January 14 -- Softening the Slope

January 13 -- More Wall Action

This week the slope along the driveway saw the excavation of long-buried rocks, which will be restacked to form a retaining wall along this side of the driveway circle. That cube-like rock by the cedar tree? It measures roughly 18"x18"x12". I hope that can become the end stone for the section of wall nearest the house. Also discovered: a rough slab at the north end.
