Ingredients:

3. Transport rocks to their new location.
4. Stack the rocks in a nice neat pile, also called "a wall".
5. Season to taste with language your kids shouldn't hear - esp when you are moving a particularly heavy rock and/or you drop a rock on your thumb.

Nice job, David. I like that look which is how I like my lanscaping shrubs - trimmed but irregular. Is this a corner accent or is there more to follow?

From the instructions, it is probably a corner accent...Even if the original plan was for a wall....

This is a corner accent. The left side of the corner will get built as I have time - that rock pile aint going anywhere. But as far as I am concerned, anything over 3' long qualfies as a wall.

How long each leg of the corner is will be determined by how many rocks I have.

I'd have said they were perfect where they were, then had a beer on my wonderful decision!

Tried that. SWMBO didn't buy it. Besides, it is in the front yard, so it had to be moved eventually. Oh yeah, just so you know - the rock pile pic was taken AFTER the wall was started. There is still about 2/3 of the pile left....

Funny thing, LOML and I have been slowly taking a few rocks at a time from a local farmer's rock pile and taking them for various uses in the yard. We have to import our rock pile, must be nice not having to load all those rocks in the car!

The wall is looking very nice.

9. Season to taste with language your kids shouldn't hear - esp when you are moving a particularly heavy rock and/or you drop a rock on your thumb.
10. Go get a beer.
