Retaining Walls

The retaining wall project has been moving along quite fast!  Mark has been spending lots of weekday time working on the walls and Ryan helped on Sunday as well.

Prep work completed here

First rows going in (these will be covered by dirt). Also drainage going in.

Starting to build up the one wall

Sunday’s progress!

The wall looks so great- I love the pattern!  I think we’ve decided to wait on the door install till spring so we can order the correct height door we want/need (78″ instead of the standard 80″).  It’s hard to get and wouldn’t come in until cold/snow has arrived.  Safer to just wait till spring and get the walls done for now.

Mark picked up 2 more pallets of block today and I hear him out there on the tractor so I’m sure I’ll have more updates soon!
