Just after the house pad was cut J and I met the retaining wall man up at the block to help him set out where the second retaining wall was going to go. You would think this would be relatively easy but because the wall is right on the edge of the building envelope it needed to be pretty accurate. It took the three of us 2 hours to work it out! J was getting a little frustrated but I am just happy that it will be in the right spot otherwise the council would make us tear it down and build a new one - definitely don't want that!
The following day the posts went in......
And the day after the wall was completed and J and I gave the retaining wall guy a hand to do the backfilling. Here is the finished product...........
This is exciting ... oh yeah!
ReplyDeleteIs the retaining wall what we would call a foundation wall when we excavate for a basement?
Also, have you met your neighbour (per the house in photo)
