Wall 4

Before we started work on the wall , notice the weeds and the strange garden on the lower left.

After last weekend, most of the first wall is complete, the area has been graded, and the location for the next wall by the wooden stake (in place of the strange garden) is complete. More blocks to be delivered and work this weekend.

Wall Part 3

More work was done on the wall this weekend. The wall is going to be 6 blocks high. As of today most of the wall is 5 blocks high. As soon as the end of the wall is done, I will put in the drainage pipe and back fill. It would be nice if the wall was done by next weekend. It will depend on the weather.

Here is a picture of the back of the wall. Erik put in the foundation blocks and stacked most of the blocks on Saturday. I stacked blocks on Sunday and dumped fill in front of the wall. I still need friends and neighbors to come over and add a block.

Wall Part 2

We worked Saturday in the drizzle, to get the site ready for laying the blocks. I covered the dirt with blue tarps so the dirt would not turn into mud and fill up my trench. I also found out that I had under estimated the number of blocks I needed. I though that I needed 130 blocks, but I actually needed 350 blocks, So this morning I ordered another 230 blocks. It will take a while to stack all of that block.
Here is a picture of the trench and stone that will be used as a foundation for the wall. We should be laying block by Friday.

Next Wall Project

I had stone block delivered for the new wall. The wall will be located a short distance from the house. This is another in the continuing project to put the yard back together. I got enough block for a 40 foot x 3 foot wall. The block came on three pallets I don't think there is enough block.
