From the Pottstown Mercury:

83 acres of the quaint 19th-century St. Peter’s Village along French Creek will be sold at absolute auction on Sept. 30.

According to the auction house announcement, the sale will include the historic and well-known Inn at St. Peter’s Village, as well as "quaint shops, and 121 subdivided home sites. All home sites and buildings on 83± acres to be sold as one unit. This mixed-use land development in Chester County, Pa., is suitable for major builders, venture capitalists, historic preservationists, and entrepreneurs."

The listing also indicates the successful bidder will become the owner of the property’s 'mineral rights.'

Spectacular.

Edit: would lovvee if there were some rich bold colors upstairs instead of all the gray. Hope with all my heart the lucky future owner will fully bring out her beauty!

Had a boulder retaining wall installed. Aesthetically very pleased with it and it honestly turned out better than I expected, but a bit concerned about the structural integrity. We agreed in writing to have the rocks sit below grade on a level gravel base. They were installed pretty much at grade with no base.

During the install I went out and asked about this, and he said it wasn't necessary because the rocks are so heavy they won't shift and there was already supposedly somewhat of a base from the timbers. The install was already well underway so they would not have been able to course correct without me making a HUGE stink, and he also had been very nice and pleasant to work with, so I swallowed it and didn't push the point.

Contract was for removal of existing timber wall, removal of 2 small trees and some shrubs + stumps, and install of the 60 foot boulder wall for $4600.

How big of a deal is this and should I be concerned, or is everything fine and I can be happy with my wall?

EDIT: I am not considering asking them to redo and I already paid in full. My options are to begrudgingly move on or be happy and move on

EDIT: Thanks everybody, I am happy with it, got a great deal and seems like the stability will be fine!
