September 8, 2022 - Back retention wall almost complete
Back wall mostly complete, side retention walls have been started
Yes, it really is massive - about 2m at the base
But you can't really tell it's that thick from the front
...and all that behind will be back-filled and buried
Building the side wall forward
View from the road
Yes, the top of the wall is level; it's an optical illusion from the sloping terrain
