2007 Summer Project Update

I added some blocks to the existing wall. The rule is four(4) feet but I have to be different and it is 41/2 feet tall at its end.

Here is Campeon, Chester, and Morena keeping me company while I play landscaper. Yes, I did stop building steps but you can get an idea of the final result. Can't you?

I started digging on the other side of the wall. The clay is as hard as rock and progress is as slow as snails, but I get rid of my frustration by beating the H@&* out of the hill.

Here is my first attempt to build the wall and reclaim five (5) feet of taxed and unused land. I said the first attempt since I have to re-start three (3) times already since I am using the most rudimentary of engineering tools for the job. I am starting to feel a lot of respect for those that build the Pyramids and Hedge Stone.
