"You Rock!!"

At least that's what someone passing by told me today as I was happily setting stones! I finally got the portion of the wall that faces the yard pretty well wrapped up. I might do some additional tuck-pointing to this area again later, but overall am pretty satisfied with how things are turning out.

Now that I have the side facing the yard done, I can focus on the side of the wall facing the street. Just a few more stones to set! I ran out of mortar and had to call it a day.

My back is ready for this project to be done. It doesn't think we should be mixing 180 lbs. of mortar. I couldn't agree more!

So much tuck-pointing to do in other parts of the wall! This should keep me busy all summer! Imagining how much money I am saving by doing it myself is so satisfying!
