Building a wall....

Our son and his athletic dog came to visit and helped us build a retaining wall in front of the shop slab. We started by determining the line with cynder blocks. This gave it a solid base and a straight line to follow.
We then placed the largest limestone rocks on first alternating them so as to lock them into each other.
We then backfilled from the wall to the shop side with super select, which is a mix of 3/4 inch jagged rock and fines, which lock it all together.
