Projects: The Wall

I decided that after a bad day at work, that I need some accomplishment. So, I have been want to build a small retaining wall near the west side of the house.

I should have taken a before picture but did not think of it until I took an after picture. However, I did find the this one that I took when we were first interested in this house.

You can see a big pile of dirt that “fell” down an older wall of rocks.

Here is all the rocks that I dug out first that was buried under all the dirt.

And we have the finished retaining wall. It is pretty.
