I have been spending some time finishing a terrace on what will be the front lawn area of the house. Two retaining walls that cover close to 100' each, using rock excavated on site, as has been covered earlier in this thread....
Anyway, the top wall is nearing completion and here are some pics in progress.
First...
The rocks I had to work with are laid out.... lots of moving 'em around and pulling the remainder down the grade. No thumb...
Laying up the wall and clearing ground above at the same time...
And, as of today...
I'm running low on wall rocks.... since I'm not breaking into any new ground...... but only 20 more feet to go.
Also running low on backfill. Have to buy a few loads @ 230 for a heavy loaded triaxle..... trying to scrape as much as I can from my ground buts its time consuming to get it.
