New fence

We have built a new retaining wall and fence between us and the seniors apartment

the rocks and dirt were all in our yard sliding down from there yard ... here is Chad and Ed putting in a fence post

We had to first dig all the rocks and dirt away that hd been in our side .. this was a very back breaking task as it was mostly rocks and it is hard to dig into rocks .. Chad was a big help with this part...
The tractor came in real handy for the post holes and Ed was so happy to have been able to use his little tractor ... he was missing it....

First we had to put in 2x10 pressure treated boards to hold back there yard

I dug and dug and dug some more to make a 2 foot wide flower bed on the side of the fence .. I found all kinds of treasures ... from buried platic..rocks ceader chips to cement blocks that had been buried under the dirt and stone....

I had to dig the whole length as I wanted the bottom row of wood to be level

as the yard has a slope I teared the flower beds up to the back

Progress the vision is in reach

Wolah the finished flower bed and fence

Now we are going to take out this cement driveway as it just makes water run towards the house

Flowers planted and growing.......now on to the back fence......yeah.....!
