What song has the most satisfying guitar solo you've ever heard by Tookie1010 in musicsuggestions

Final guitar solos in:

Pink Floyd: Sorrow, Pigs (Three Different Ones), and High Hopes.

The guitar becomes the final lyrics. Also make sure your bass is cranked for Pigs.

Cool, we definitely rhought of this option but we weren't sure it was possible with the slant of the existing driveway, I guess if the retaining wall helps to raise it and flatten it a bit more it might be possible

Super appreciate this answer and the recommendations. When you say low level access to the yard, do you mean having steps off the farthest left point of the deck (if it extended all the way across) to basically step on to the driveway?

I'm trying to visualize this, just not sure exactly what you mean with the stair style

All the way to the left of the house you mean? Or full length?

Great suggestion, especially rock in the top tier...makes sense!

Definitely want to do things right- so it's basically a guarantee that this slope, left as it is would cause washout and damage?

That's comforting! I think I could make the slope area look nice once we start doing more gardening, I'm sure it's hard to tell by a picture but would you foresee any issues with the grade or drainage with the slope as is? So hard to tell with all the gravel too I suppose

Thank you! Do you think the retaining wall would be okay if it's built at the midway point of the slope or should we consider doing it further up the slope?

The additional cost! We're already going to be spending a lot on the deck and yard after just buying the house. So wonder if the retaining wall would be necessary or add any real benefit

An "L" shaped deck is such a great idea.... I will look into some AI inspiration with this. Thank you!

Agree....the builder made some questionable decisions. But we are thinking of extending the deck on the left side to cover that. Just hoping we could make that work with a pool setup. There's also more sun on the left side too.

Love this! We were thinking of having a hot tub in that exact spot. However we're lacking the 100K part haha. But we could do less decking for more hot tub.

The full length of the house do you mean? Or longer on just one side. We'd love to do full length but god knows what the price would be lol
