Last week much to the delight of the grandchildren that were visiting Grandma Stutz across the
street we had the "GREAT WALL" delivered. Each block weighs 67#. Each pallet has 45 blocks and weighs 3015# and we have 10 pallets. This is about 1/3 of what we need to complete the project. Can you just image how BUFF dad will be when it's all done?! I'm glad he is excited about it.
Rod our wonderful neighbor next door came over and helped Dad set the block for the 1st row so that they had 4 evenly spaced blocks that were level along the entire length. It is quite the process. Then you start at one end and move along to the next level block. Each block that is laid has to be completely level before moving on to the next one. We are excited to see it grow.
He is only going 3 blocks high near the swings so that once the capstones are on it will be seats for us to use while the kids swing. Doesn't it look great?! He is one TOUGH Dad and Grandpa. YEAH Grandpa!!!! Love you all.

Wow! It looks so great! I for one need some working out so I'll come help too! It is going to be so great!
Ooooh, that will be so nice! My goodness, don't break your backs. How do you get the pallets or rocks out back? The trailer? Looks like quite the project, and will be so beautiful when it's done! We're anxious to see it. Love you bunches! (Be so careful!)
Wow! holy bricks. All your hard work looks really good. I can't wait to see it.
