Finally we have a Retaining Wall

At the end of April we decided that we were going to hire a landscaper to do a retaining wall in our backyard. The backyard has a pretty big hill to it and we don't have grass all the way up the hill. So we picked a landscaper, then we had a big snow storm and the guy wasn't supposed to start until May 13th. Well May 13th came and went and no landscaper. He finally showed up two weeks later and I asked "How long will this take" - "2 days he says". Remember the movie Money Pit with Tom Hanks - that is what it felt like. 2 days turned into almost 2 months. Then the guy runs out of material and tries to tell us he is done. So it is 9pm and Larry is out in the backyard with his spotlight fighting with the guy about what still needs to be done. I am happy to say after all this he came and finished the job - and did more just to make us happy. Thank Goodness!! So now we have a retaining wall - Yahoo!! Larry is in the process of taking all of the bad dirt out so we can put in good dirt and plant some bushes, flowers, and finally my vegetable garden will be back!!
