A Quick Step Up


Truck loaded up with heavy rocks.

We added 8 inches of height to our retaining wall this summer. Since then, we have have been Jonesing for some steps to help us get up to our garden.

The original plan was to build some steps with lumber, like a deck style. Then it was railroad ties. Then rock steps. Then it was cedar beams.

Anyways, we always try to find cheap ways to get our projects done. Today we found a pile of limestone rocks at Habitat ReStore. Our original estimate for this project was around $400. We got the rocks for $4 each, and ended up only spending $72 bucks for the project. Saving money makes projects like this so much sweeter.

Here is a quick before and after.
