After much planning and many delays, our retainig wall is finally finished (round one).  When all was said and done, it was just 11 days of work.  Of course there was a little rain in the mix, too (and we’re not counting those days).

Our contractor was absolutely fabulous.  We’ll be bringing him back in a week or so to do round 2 (garden wall along the left fence & the fence), and then again in a couple of months to do round 3 (vegetable beds & steps in front of the retaining wall.

From left to right, the pictures (more or less) are from the kitchen step, 2 of the back, then one from the back door.  Then there are a couple from the right of the car port and a few bonus shots.  Missing columns are shots I didn’t take that day.
