Done Stacking Blocks

I done stacking blocks. All of the wall are complete, and have drainage installed. I will start back filling the walls, and getting loam delivered next week. I will deal with grass in September.

Cap on the large wall

A couple of days ago, I got the cap installed on the large wall. Rich was over for coffee in the morning, and I made him help. He was cheep labor, Rich helped to glue down 80 blocks for two cups of coffee. I wish I could get more help like that.

Still Making Progress

I have the caps installed on the two walls closest to the house, and I need to install the caps on the large wall. I'm starting to think about getting loam, but I don't think I will start grass until it gets a little colder.

Second and Third walls (continued)

All of the blocks are in place for the second and third walls. All that needs to be done is to add the caps, back fill the wall and plant flowers.

Second and Third Walls

On Monday July 5, Eric and I started work on the second and third wall. On Saturday Eric had prepared the area for the walls and on Monday we installed all of the blocks that we had on hand. I will be ordering more blocks this week. I didn't think I was going to build these additional walls this quick, but I had Eric and a machine so away we went. I hope to have these walls ready for caps by the end of the weekend.

Wall 5 Friday July 2nd.

On Friday after work, some of our friends came over for wine, appetizers and wall building. We didn't tell them about the wall building. I got a picture of everyone but Paul. Sorry Paul. When the friends were done, 75 blocks were added to the top of the wall. (I think that Brian stacked 60 of the blocks all by himself.)
