Outside,
Len pointed to the back retaining wall, which he built mainly with rocks he had
taken from the ground he excavated behind the kitchen and house. He also
pointed to the water storage dams, which were added for better water pressure in the house and mentioned that he thought the work
involved in the wall and the dams with their pumps and equipment were the last
straw for Robin Singer.
The rising slope behind the building is a great background, but it is easy to see why retaining walls would be necessary if any extension was being planned. It is also easy to understand how an escalation in mortgage rates adding to the cost of all the work the singers did to Rickety Bridge would strain a budget but the singers put more than money into the project and I think it showed.
