This is the wall that my amazing husband, my brother-in-law, and our friend helped us build on Saturday. The wall turned out so much bigger and better than I had imagined. If it weren't for Chase's landscaping genius I don't think that it would have
turned out this well. That's not to say that Matt and Billy couldn't have done it but they definitely couldn't have done it without one of them getting injured, and I'm a fan of no injuries!
Being that I know nothing about building walls I thought this project would take no time at all... well I was wrong. The guys labored from 10am to 3:30pm only stopping to eat lunch for a few minutes. When Heather and I arrived around 1:30pm Billy had concrete dust in his eyes, Matt's shoulders were bright red from the blazing sun, and Chase was in charge. The three of them worked great together and because of their hard work we now have the makings of a backyard!
Today I am ordering 10 yards of dirt, which is a lot of dirt for all of you that know nothing about landscaping. This weekend we are going to level out the dirt and then !voila! in only 2 weekends we will have created ourselves a backyard. Glad we put the house on the market so that we could get done all the stuff we've been putting off for 2 1/2 years!!! :)

Wow, that looks like a lot of work. But yay!!!! Now, I can totally visualize what you were trying to explain to me. :) I can't wait to see what it looks like with grass!
