[Richard]

Here again, is a refresher of the Great Wall of Greenback
This was near end of laying all the rocks

Very nice, Richard. Now, would you consider coming to Texas and doing a "little" job for me?/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

It might take me a while to drive there in Brutus!!
Ever notice how LONG the traffic lines are behind a backhoe on the street? Do you all have road rage drivers there?

Richard,
I can only guess how much work that wall was. Just think though, a 100 years from now, someone will be sitting out there saying, those old guys sure did nice work./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

"those old guys sure did nice work"

Edit to say "Those CRAZY folks..."

And a thousand years from now, they'll be excavating that site and determine that <font color=blue> "it must have had some political or religious significance to the indigenous aboriginies of the time". </font color=blue> /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

I was gonna answer this earlier, but I couldn't get my laptop to work while I was talking to my probation officer on my cell phone and reloading my pistol to shoot out the tires on that @#$! backhoe driving down the road in front of me. /w3tcompact/icons/mad.gif/w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

What a beautiful job!! You must really be pleased. But doesn't it feel good to be done!

 

[Richard]

Thank you and yes it does. However, you might note the reference to the "Waterfall & more rock walls" thread so though we are done, we are not done.

In addition to doing the patio rock wall & waterfall, I am now down to "only" about 15 tons of flagstone to lay ugh.... /w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

The wedding is planned (did I say "planned" hmmmmmmm) for August 18. AFter that, I get to go back and play on Brutus and dig stumps and do some fun stuff (major fires and the like...) for while and forget about all the things we are currently fretting (and breaking our backs almost literally) over to finish.
