Photo Hunt: Heavy




One of our first large projects is to put up a fence at the front. We thought that would be simple, but because of the layout of the garden and a large palm tree, we have had to put up a retaining wall. The rest of the front had a lot of ugly rail sleepers, which were looking very sad. We decided to do the whole lot, so that entailed a day of digging with a bobcat and now the retaining wall is sitting in the front yard like a large lego puzzle without the instructions.

The ten pallets arrived on a large truck with its own tractor to unload the heavy load. The kids have improvised it as a stage and creative play area. We are now a little unenthusiastic about the last preparatory work that has to happen to get the first course laid. Hopefully we will get started today.
