Well, we are making progress. The sole of Mrs Carrera's shoe came off so she can say for sure she put her sole into the job.
We had a false start on Sunday. The wall was started but it was nothing close to level. She did some more reading and finally believed me that she needed to start over. Yesterday morning she took everything down that we had started and began again. This time she did it the way I had suggested, but the internet said it was the way to build a wall on a slope. This is worse that doing wallpaper together.
In the top photo it looks like the wall curves back up, but that is an optical delusion. The driveway slopes down and according to the level that wall is level.
There is a one foot drop going down the driveway and the two foot drop going across the yard to the driveway.
One thing for sure is our project is going to end the dry days. There is a good chance of rain starting this afternoon and going on almost all week. It would be great to have dry conditions but it ain't gonna happen. Today is a high of 88 tomorrow the high is 55.
