Well, okay, it really took 2 weekends, but that was because I could only work on it one day each weekend. For awhile I've been wanting to clean up a small hillside in my side yard. It had become difficult to maintain, even though I would usually plant some vegetables in it each year. So with the help of my friend, Jim, I took to the task of putting in low terraces. I originally hoped it would only take one day to complete (despite all the skeptical looks from others). But as is typical for home projects, the first day took 3 different trips to the hardware store alone. Fortunately the second day of work went more smoothly since we actually knew what we were doing. It was a lot of work, but I'm really happy with the result. I was especially proud since I calculated just the right amount of building material to use.
very nice - I wish I had the energy to do the same with my hillside.
