Groundworks finally commence.....and while barry starts making mountains and dramatically changing the landscape, Tony & I begin some hard labour on our Gabion walls at the end of the garden. A green and cheap way of obtaining retaining walls.
And a MASSIVE shout out, respect and huge thanks for donating some or in some cases all of their weekend, under the guise from me of its a cheaper way of getting muscles than the gym!! goes to:
Dad, Chris (sadly not caught on camera on this occasion!), Steve, Mark & Phil for all their help. We now owe a few beers...
First we built the cages by wiring up 1/2m x 1m x 2m and some 1/2m x 1/2m x 2m meshes.
Then we got filling......How to re-cycle an old garage and drive.......
With a bit of help from an expert digger driver and his piles of rubble.

Dad kindly helping out too. We probably didn't help with the golf swing the next day though!

| A well earned (only 5minutes please lads) lunch break! |

| Doing what you're taught never to do..... |
 |
....throwing heavy stones at each other! 'Working on the chain gang...'
|
 |
| And finally... the next day after Barry kindly hid all our hard work... |
