Totally selected the wrong meme for the old title, but here we are.

Holy fuck, we have a railroad tie retaining wall for the bank in our back yard, but that's keeping the bank from sliding towards the house, not for keeping the house up, and still, it's not even holding much back. I'd never trust that for anything critical. No way that would ever be approved today.

They're literally not approved by state ordinances anymore. And the previous 30 years of owners just completely neglected it. The soil erosion is so bad and it's a shame because we can see the remnants of what used to be a beautiful backyard.

We thought the fix would be closer to 50k when we bought it, which would have been mostly paid for by our previous house sale. But here we are with an entire house worth of repairs in our lap...
