We have a retaining wall

The retaining wall was finished today. It's just made of CMU blocks and then plastered over. We needed to build a retaining wall both to level off the front yard and to create some sort of barrier between the front door and the very near sidewalk. One day we hope to put a black aluminum fence on top, but for now it'll stay as is. Hopefully the painters will have time to paint it later on to match the house.



Hopefully we can do some nice landscaping in this front yard and it can be a nice place for the kids to play one day.




The front view of the house looks so different now!
