Retaining wall

Now OUR chance to get our hands dirty came along. Dad and I did the formwork. Then Tim and I poured the footings and then started to build a retaining wall along the northern side of the house.

As you can see, Erina did all the work - the mixing...

The laying...

And the cleaning up...

I was just responsible for the backfilling...

And the capping. And there you can see our completed wall...well, sort of...that is just the first section next to the garage - about 7.5metres. Now we have to do another 14 metres!
