More progress! The lower wall still needs the caps, pillars, and return wall at each end. That will be a planting area for native plants. A couple courses of the upper wall will be covered by the dirt after they fill the planting area.

Good morning forum friends!

Was it fun tearing it down? It looks like it would be.

This shows how much of a slope my yard has... The blocks are 6" tall... The top course will be exposed above the pavers and be capped. There'll be a fence railing too so no one falls over. The backside of the wall is 13' from my patio. There will be another wall below that one too.

Progress! There will be stairs to the left of the column

There's a chance of rain tonight, tomorrow looks ok, and then the real rain hits Thursday, with Friday looking ok. Hopefully they can get it to a point where the rains won't affect it.

They are working on the first course of my upper retaining wall

Good morning everyone

I'm making corn fritters, breakfast sausage patties, and roasted brussel sprouts. The brussel sprouts must be in season because they've been really good and fresh.
