retaining wall almost done

The temporary finished retaining wall. Since I build the wall out away from the foundation, I have to find some fill dirt. The most annoying and challenging part is leveling every brick, but the brick layers on top of the base layer stack nicely once the foundation is true. The funnest part is the roof gutter drains from the wall, so it hides the pipe and keeps the yard looking tidy.

I needed to thin the number of layers as the wall reached the gas meter and air conditioner.
