This is how the sausage is made, or at least the retaining wall, which is the creation of a swale for the cement project that’s about to take place, so that I no longer have to worry about my wood retaining wall buckling bit by bit. Seeing the exposed drip systems that were previously installed here makes me realize the importance of getting a new one, which is in the works eventually, but for now, I just want to get my yard back together. I’m impressed with the progress in just two days, but it’s going to be a mess for probably another week.
