Not bad for a weekend's work!

Last weekend was finally retaining wall day/weekend.
We had the lovely luck of no rain for a month and then got hit with constant rain... which is always good fun when pouring footings!

Never mind a bit of water, we kicked on, and completed half of it (about 30m of the 60 to do)

Before this happened, we ended up getting the block cut to make the retaining walls not so high, which was a bit over our budget, but made such a difference!! At least we now have some natural light in our back two rooms.

Really happy so far with the look, and now have something to keep me busy over the next couple of weekends!
The block getting cut - much flatter after 13 loads of dirt removed.


Proof it was actually me on the tools!

Front wall done, just the back and side to go

Our lovely mud it in the corner after rain!
