Mit diese Mauer halten wir das Wasser was aus der Gegend von höhere Teilen runter strömte zu unser Haus entgegen. Es funktioniert perfekt, wir hatten es so auch bestellt beim bauen damals aber es wurde nicht ausgeführt da wir beide ja in Indonesien waren; zu weit weg. Schade, es hätte vom Anfang an gut sein können aber wir sind Wasser-frei ganz um unser Haus da wir es überall wegleiten vom Haus. Es rennt zur Back herunter über den Weg, und über unserem Rasen.<br />Liebe Grüsse,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-29534081230468917822015-04-04T17:39:03.603-04:002015-04-04T17:39:03.603-04:00Oh, jetzt bin ich wohl in einem alten Post gelande...Oh, jetzt bin ich wohl in einem alten Post gelandet.

Dampness is not a thing one is looking forward to either. <br />But this got done and tonight I launch the post showing the finished retainer wall.<br />Step by step we manage to fight back against our oh so strong Mother Nature with all her forces. If we can outsmart her, it works to our advantage and we can enjoy some peace while living in a certain spot. <br />Thank you very much for your sunshine wishes. May you also be granted lots of literal and other sunshine in your life and that of your loved ones. <br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-2021943394438342202013-12-30T16:25:37.228-05:002013-12-30T16:25:37.228-05:00It is terrible when we have to cut down such lovel...It is terrible when we have to cut down such lovely old trees but sometime it has to happen Jo-Anne's Ramblingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418152399382818709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-36357600409597595392013-12-30T15:24:50.735-05:002013-12-30T15:24:50.735-05:00Dearest Mariette,

However, water control is one of those important reasons. If I had stayed in Ohio, I would have had to make several tough decisions, as there were very large trees completely shading the house and starting to cause dampness problems--at least a few needed to be removed to let in the sunshine.<br /><br />Speaking of sunshine, I hope that 2014 will be filled with sunshine for you, Pieter, and your family.<br />--Jim Parnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-58990393931741113662013-12-30T11:42:26.123-05:002013-12-30T11:42:26.123-05:00Cara Lory,
