A wall strong enough to hold back a great flood

Long time no post, but we have been busy. Following on from our previous post about our retaining wall,  we have laid hundreds of dense concrete blocks (weather permitting) to keep the bank from falling into the watercourse and to define the boundary of our new garden. Paul laid blocks with help from me, Dad and Leigh, to get the job done quicker than we anticipated. There’s still a little way to go. We have to cut and lay drainage pipes through the wall, backfill with concrete and top with a timber fence before we are fully finished, but the hardwork is now done (for now).
