For a few years my goal has been to create a "Secret Garden" in our Children's Garden in the back yard. Last summer I wanted to get to it but couldn't decide on exactly how I wanted to do it and what product to use to create a wall. Well, it came together a few weeks ago and I hired Austin (who needed to earn funds for football) to help me construct the wall. So on Friday we rented a pickup truck and got a pallet of blocks from Lehi Block (a pallet contains 100 blocks and to give you an idea of how much weight Austin and I...especially Austin....lifted...it weighs 2600 lbs!) and got the boys (Logan helped Grandpa clean the garage) and heade home to unload. The next day Austin and I began our project at 8:30 a.m. amd finished around 5:45 p.m. We were tired but very happy with the results. I need to get about a 100 more blocks to finish my wall but we got the hardest part done.
The photos show the garden "before", Austin laying block, and our "finished" project to this point.
