just some before pictures, to remind everyone what we started from. and the piles and piles and piles and pallets, pallets, and pallets of materials we had waiting for us to work with...
we started out with a rough idea, as any project: we knew we wanted stairs, tired retaining walls for garden beds, and a walkway. the cheapest estimate we'd received was a whopping $30,000, so this was something we knew we had to take on ourselves. david took one week off work, and we pretty much hit it as hard as we could all day long every day that whole week.
day 1: saturday, halloween: i ran 10 miles that morning (training for a half), and then came home and wheelbarrowed and pounded gravel along the trench david had dug for the wall. david then laid the base for the first retaining wall.
pace running laps in the trench. what? yeah, that kid doesn't stop. prep work is a killer, but then the wall goes up pretty quick.
