Hey everyone. Dave has been working on the major construction project in our yard building a 112ft long and 4ft high retaining wall, so that we can level out the yard and have parking in the back. It's been quite the project and Jacob has been loving all the excitement and machinery! Last weekend we rented a mini excavator in order to clear out all the crap from the back corner of the yard. Then Dave built footings and had the concrete poured on Thursday and this weekend Dave and his Dad have been building the forms for the actual wall. We were planning on pouring the wall on Monday but have decided to wait until next Saturday. Lot's and lot's of work, but it's going to be really nice when it's finished...if we can ever afford to finish it!! Wow, it's sure expensive for materials these days, everything has doubled since we finished our basement - luckily Dave is able to do the work himself and we don't have to pay contractors!!
That's the update for now! Hopefully we get the yard completed so we can get out and enjoy what's left of summer!!
