Retain Wall Destruction

Well, the destruction (and hopefully, eventual replacement) of my old rotting redwood retaining wall has begun. The guys really tore it up good today, hopefully, nice bricks will be soon replacing the crappy old wood.

Whew. That will be one bit off my mind.

I know nobody but me cares, but I’ll put pictures here.

Well, I couldn’t resist commenting.

I used to work as a civil engineer up until 1997.
First I have to say that changeing the wood to bricks is a clever idea. But I am a bit curious.

Are you going to install some low voltage lighting in the wall? Replaceing a brick with a low placed light?
I think it could be quite nice with a light that just shines up onto the walkway.

Best regards!

Not a bad idea… but so far the bricks are not illuminated. Why didn’t we think of that? =)
