Our local recycling plant
Clearing the area for our future backyard vineyard and raised stone garden beds
The first three layers of wall will be underground and sand placed for proper drainage. You can also use a large layer of pepple stone under the wall for drainage. We have sandy soil, but if you are on clay or soil that does not drain well I would use the pepple stone.

| We have had some much needed help from close friends and family. |

| We went to Home depot and bought a pallet of mortar |
The curve that will connect the new wall to the existing wall
 |
| This will all be berried so we used the " unfavored stone" |

 We will be placing a retaining wall and stairs here with a gate. We will then be planting dwarf fruit trees along the side of the house....all in TIME of course   
Placing the cap on the stone wall.
Seeing progress
 
This is taking us many more hours than expected...
But sometime inbetween four kids, a full time job, and enjoying the water we have managed to get this Far...
Maybe by winter this side of the house will be complete!
