Finished the base of the last section of retaining wall yesterday.

Just need to cut 2 half blocks, lock everything together, back fill.

I might fill the end blocks and 1 block in the center with cement just to do it. It'll be the new owners problem once we sell

Put the rest on top just to make sure everything fit.

Have to take them off to cut the end blocks and lock everything together.

We kinda were. But decided it was going to be too much before the wedding.

So we'll put our place on the market near the end of the year and move in with my parents while we look for something new.

This last section is only 10 blocks thankfully.

Last summer, the two sides plus the back wall were something like 48 per row

yea I love the split face look.

The back of them are flat, so the pic below is from the next door neighbors yard.

Most likely Roseville, maybe Rocklin.

Scheduled an appointment with an Allergist in mid June... I can't take any antihistamines for a week prior to the visit. I'm pretty sure I'm going to die that week.
