We made some progress on the walls during the week. The last course on the first wall was completed up to the sidewalk. Here the Micah and Jackson finished backfilling behind the wall.
As the other two worked on the wall on the other side of the sidewalk steps, Steve and I start the base course for the flower bed on the opposite side of the house. In this picture I use a rubber mallet to level the block, while Steve is in the ready position with the level.
Here's the finished product of Micah and Jackson's handy work. These walls will not have caps, but instead will be covered with mulch to the front lip.
This foursome had a quite productive day. It was good working weather, and we were able to finish both walls adjacent to the driveway and sidewalk. We finished one course for the flower bed on the opposite side, with five more courses to go.
To celebrate, we got the band back together. With this lineup, the hits just kept on coming...Everlong by Foo Fighters, Jessie's girl by Rick Springfield and Mr. Brightside by Killers, to name a few. To avoid upsetting Farley again, we kept Micah away from the microphone...well, at least away from the Bon Jovi songs. Look for the band, "MBJ Armada +1" on tour this summer.
