Weather not so good today, but Archie's men were out none the less. After some discussions it was agreed on the best approach to tackle the nasty slope - go deeper! and spread the drop in height across 2 retaining walls at the top and bottom.
 |
| Another 1 sleeper deep |
 |
| Despite the rain.. not filling up (yet) |
 |
| Lower end... notice the position of the posts - this is where the lower level retainer is going in. Rather than having a single high retaining wall of sleepers, the plan is to have 2 separate levels - both at the bottom and at the top. It will be 3 + 3 tall at the top, and 2 + 2 t the bottom. We are using cheaper Jewson sleepers, so the new ones will be 200mm as opposed to the 225 or 250mm used previously. |
Lets hope the weather improves for tomorrow. The forecast doesn't look great until Friday when the office is due to be craned over the house.
