It's another retaining wall!!!! The pic is from when we started on the "Weekend Home Improvement Project" from a few years back.
This one will run from where the steps meet the fence to the back fence line, more or less. It measures out at about 65 feet and will only be 3 foot tall at it's highest point. Thats the good news, the bad news is that the blocks will proabably be the 85 pounders:-( The flower box between the house and the steps is made out of the same blocks.
I just got off the phone with my dad and his back is still bothering him. He was gonna come up this weekend but he is to sore, so he will try to come up Easter weekend.
I am going to be going on a mission trip with one of the guys from work to Port Aurthur, Texas next weekend I think. I will be helping to "escort" 35 high school kids, aye carumba!!! It all depends on if I can get off work next Thursday night. We would leave Thursday night, the 13th, about 10pm from KC and I am guessing that we get to Port Arthur about noon on Friday. We leave on Wednesaday the 19th about 10pm and get back to KC about noon on Thursday. We will be doing clean up and some carpentry work related to Hurricane Rita from a couple years ago.
Thr Mrs has been busy as well, she has almost finished another Raggedy Ann doll, here is a picture of the doll with our 21/2 year old grand daughter. Mrs alfa6 has figured out how to make the faces on her embrodiery machine which is kinda cool.
The Mrs made these for our first two girls for Christmas when they were about 6 and 4 IIRC. We put them in bed with them Christmas Eve nite and were awakened that morning by one of the girls screaming that there was a gaint doll in her bed, he he.
Well I gotta call it a night as I have to go to work in the morning. Y'all take care now
Regards
