The Retaining Wall - 1 stone at a time

.

My camera is not working well (notice the pink tint), but Roger and Dave are working perfectly.  The retaining wall on the North side of the house is looking great.  It is a very precise process - a perfect balance of men and machines.  Most of the stones are too heavy to move by hand, but each is eventually positioned manually, using the long bars for leverage.  No concrete is used.
