Wow, wow, double wow! I'm just lovin' this!
Check out these big, beautiful rocks. Notice how the wood pieces lean back toward the hillside - called battering - and the gravel is behind the boulders??? Bob knows his rock stuff! We should have no danger of our wall slipping off the hill.
Looking at the wall from the down side you can get a feel of the job that's being done on fitting. These rocks are big; none are of the same size in any direction; no concrete is used (hence "dry laid" or "dry stacked"). I am SO impressed.
And, let us not forget Moro Rock lurking there in the distance along with all the other rock out-croppings. It's this type of thing that makes the wonderful (but too expensive) rock wall so perfect for our lot.
Oh - our real front door is in though it will be red in its final incarnation. Just a touch of glass at the top for light, but not so much as to eliminate privacy in case I don't want to answer the door. But, did I mention the rocks???
