Retaining Wall Project

Our house finally has some curb appeal thanks to ole Bob Villa who I like to date on the side ;) Noooo... the darling hubs put in some long hours and took days off work to complete our front-of-the-house makeover project. He did a marvelous job and in typical Trent fashion has already moved onto the next project. Me meanwhile? What am I doing you ask? Still enjoying my summer break :)This is the front of the house back this fall. We had done nothing to it yet, nothing. It was badddd.

Starting to dig out where the retaining wall would be built.

The stone maven splitting some blocks apart.

Long ways to go still....

Digging out the drainage pipe.

Building up, up, up...

Mission accomplished! Wall built, dirt added, flowers planted, lights wired, and mulch added. Finishing touch... the O banner thanks to my mother-in-law :)

The bushes that really need to grow and the pretty flowers.

My front planters that are on both sides of the garage. And yes... I actually did these! Thank goodness my mom helped me pick the flowers out!

My pots for the back deck.

The front of our house now. Much better than the first pic I'd say :)
