Some day our home will be finished, at least enough that our workin‘ man husband and daddy and his workin‘ father don’t have their weekends consumed with house projects. Until that day arrives or is proclaimed by Nathan, we have hard workin‘ weekend project men. As you can see, our girl wants to always be in the thick of it. The latest project was Saturday morning when retaining walls were built.
Miss E was armed with her hammer and ready to get to work. Thankfully she seems to have much more of her father’s building aptitude than mine which is zero to none.

(I just take pictures and provide lemonade and iced sun tea to those building.)




The math ended up being that Nathan lifted 24,000 lbs. solo on Saturday morning and early afternoon. If you want to an intense strength training program I highly recommend building a retaining wall.


I love the Dakota Blend. The wall looks perfectly designed and constructed …from a geeky engineer’s perspective!! I feel I must leave a comment since I was mentioned in your blog. Can’t wait to see all your house projects in person soon…along with the newest member of the Pinke family.
Take care my dear and keep your feet up!!
