A Bit Late But Still Getting There

Last year we started work on sorting out the area in front of the house, preparing to level the ground and provide a ramp to access the terrace. But due to other things we only got the main retaining walls done. The design called for two sets of smaller retaining walls closer to the house. These were required to allow the ramp to the rest of the track to not be too steep and to still allow us to have at least a meter of level ground next to the house to support ladders etc for access to the house for painting etc.

As we want to get the house painted this summer then this area needs to be finished, so this week I finally got out and measured out the location of the inner retaining walls. and there height etc.

I have also cleaned out the ground in preparation for the foundation of the walls. Lets hope that it will not be another year until it is finished.
