We've been planning for this retaining wall for nearly a year.  I first told you about it when we installed our construction driveway.  It's finally a reality.

OK, so it isn't tin and it's not rusted...but it will be metal.  All the way back when all we had were some concrete forms, we talked about how we're building a modern farmhouse.  And no self respecting farmhouse - modern or otherwise - would be caught dead without a proper metal roof.

We have a door!  Look at that beautiful beast.  It's nearly the size of a sheet of plywood (that's 4ft x 8ft), and much to our builder's dismay - weighs around 800 pounds.  Here's how it looks installed:

Is Lil' Jon our greatest living poet?  Perhaps.  He certainly helped with the title for this blog post.  As you can see, the windows are installed!!!  That means we're one step closer to being weather tight.
