DIY Retaining walls

The builders have arrived. Yippee! DIY is all well and good for many things, even hard and boring things like schlepping clay from here to there and then to over somewhere else. Even if it takes months. But for things like retaining walls, and big deep holes for the concrete footings, and nails and sawing and such, then it is time to pay a professional.


It was colder than the arctic today, but there were 2 burly men (women would have been good too) out from dawn to dusk (literally, as it was the shortest day last Sunday), heaving a big post hole holer around. Didn't look like something that I would have enjoyed doing and I am really pleased to be watching. Only.
