August 16, 2022 - Excavation complete; Back retention wall started
A sunny break from a wetter than normal rainy season
Just another beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Sample of the ground layers
Working on the retaining wall behind the main house
Guy is choosing rocks to use for the retaining wall
Trench for the retaining wall.
Will backfill and build a terraced wall to blend in with the garden area above.
On the plus side, we don't need to buy rocks to use for the retaining wall
I still think these rocks would be great for tables, pathways, etc.
The machete is 2 feet long to give you an idea of the sizes we have to work with...and these aren't the biggest ones.
There it is, my new house is already done!!!
OK, it's actually a little 3m x 3m storage area they built to keep the mortar, supplies, etc. dry since it's the rainy season.
