Sloped/Not Sloped

Be forewarned: This is another home improvement post.

 

Another post of our front yard even.

 

Could be boring...

 

Okay, you stayed!

 

Good!

 

Our front yard had a pretty dramatic slope to it and it kind of made the yard almost seem unusable.  I mean who wants the kids rolling down into the street?

 

So I told Wes I wanted to make a retaining wall.  He was kind of on board but said we needed to make the "sideway" first. 

 

With that done, I started the wall.

 

 Such. A. Pain. 

 

I won't even go into all the steps you have to take BEFORE you even lay down one brick or whatever they are called.



 I wanted to go four high, Wes thought three.  But it was my project and really anything less than four just looked silly.  So I won.

Can I just say, "I did this ALL by MYSELF!"

 

Yep, it's true.

 

And not to brag or anything...okay I'm totally going to brag, if you put a level on any of those bricks (except maybe one, the one you put it on, just kidding) they are level! 

 

I know, I rock! 

No pun intended but it works.
