Completion and War Wounds

We had a big day Saturday. After a number of false starts, due to hot weather, fires, and other commitments, we were able to get a whole lot done. A big big thanks to our helpers for the day, Pops, Stevie B, Lee-Lee, AOB next door and our chippie Scotty without whom it would have been a much longer day! The aims for the day were as follows: 1. Concrete in fence posts for side fence 2. Complete set out ready for plumber on Monday 3. Finish concrete and blocks on retaining wall 4. Talk to concreter We were able to finish all but 3 of the fence posts, completed most of the setout (enough for the plumber) and finished all but the capping stones on the retaining wall. Our concreter, El Guapo, appeared to have a chat, which was great and looks like we're still on schedule. Stevie B brought with him his fantastic machine which made every job so much quicker! Scoria behind the retaining wall, check. Dirt behind the retaining wall, check. Crushed rock around the concrete piers, check. Wow!!! Sorry there are no photos but a little disagreement with a mallet meant a rushed trip to the doctors and seven stitches in my left index finger. What a lovely way (not) to end the day! I will take some photos tomorrow and post soon...
