The weather is now in the 50s and climbing so that means I have to break out the rakes, shovels and sledge hammers and continue with the outdoor projects. This weekend Jamie and I removed the old brick planter in front of the house and build a new planter using retaining wall block - it turned out pretty nice - see the photos below:

After the sledge hammer work and hauling away the brick planter.

We leveled sand and wetted it for a solid foundation

Jamie heading out back for another load of blocks.

Our second row seems level so we then cut some blocks in half to fill in where we staggered the blocks. Jamie’s dad let me use is masonry saw which did the trick.

Now Jamie gets to pick the flowers.

The lawns starting to green back up and soon we’ll replace fascia, soffit and gudders. Then we move onto the back of the house.
