The above image was taken on Feb 20, 2022, you're looking at my bedroom back door (I had just replaced the toilet in my bathroom, hence it's sitting outside the back door.)
Same camera in a very slightly different location, my backyard as of right now:
That's a 3002 Ft area for my eventual patio area.
It was a costly, frustrating and daunting process, but I have this much done, the retaining wall is in place.
↑This was at the end of the first day constructing the retaining wall
The new day this morning↓
I have many shots of these mens butts.
I found what appears to be a petrified penis
(That's a HARD one, she said)
↑When I had the back yard excavated, we discovered the other end of the original clothesline post. (The tan colored cylinder)
They did NOT want that post falling over. There is/was zero chance that I would be able to move that, but it was not only an eye sore, but it was in the walk way, so....
These two got that ancient concrete into a wheelbarrow
Then with some difficulty, got it onto the trailer
Then they replaced a couple of the old cross ties back to my driveway edge
Finally washing their hands with a "wishful thinking" act
(Raymundo did not want me to get his face ha ha ha)
↑Alejandro didn't care 😂
So now, the retaining wall is done
It is my plan and dream to install a flagstone surface with Irish Moss growing in between the stones, kinda like what I did next to my garden a couple of years ago
I still have some of the Irish moss from that project, it survived two years outside in a flower pot, so I know it will survive in this new application, BUT I think I will have to remove another 2 inches of dirt to make this happen.

It looks really good! It's quite large, lots of room for living out there. The flagstones would be my choice too, and moss. Less to mow and very classy. Well done.
You've done so much to this house since you bought it. It's really shaping up. How many years have you been in it now? Three?
I bought it on Dec 11th, 2020 and moved in post haste
It has been a challenge, an expensive but rewarding one 💚
👏 Keep Up the good work on Hive ♦️ 👏

The good thing is that things must change with time and then it makes life easier for us.
Do you try hard to look for ways to sound wise while saying nothing @djbravo ? 😖
The cost of construction here in our country was less than two years ago and now it has more than doubled.
It is the same here, perhaps not doubled, but increased precipetously.
Yeah it's so sad .
Doing some redecorating, moving plants around. I hope it rains this afternoon so I will know how the flat surface is going to perform
