Can we build it? Yes we can!
Our new retaining wall got put to the test last night when a thunderstorm dumped an inch and a half of rain on us. In the past I would have found a gigantic mud slick on the patio, but this morning there was no mud and only a very shallow puddle.
This really makes me happy. It really makes a difference when you can look out your back window and not have to pretend not to see certain ugly things.
I am going to have to save up for the Rubbermaid composter, though, if I can’t figure out a clever way to hide our current set up.
