The new side retaining wall, in stages (see attachments).

Uprights, then crossbars, then moving the fill back.

It still requires some levelling, some boards from each upright to the wall (to create a bit of stepping), and then there's hoop pine mulch and planting to be done (not to mention the lower bit getting some stepping stones and pebbles.

I have splinters and pains (I don't much like power tools, and the handsaw has worn me out), but it's good to have the bulk of it done.

Cheers,
Marc
*swoon* I LOVE power tools!

lookin' good Marc!

We try not to make promises to each other we can't keep?

(Truth is, I will give in. But it'll cost him my nagging about safety equipment and proper use and constantly saying "Point away from face")

"Proficuous"...such a lovely word. I shall add that to my garden of wordy delights.

Yes. Ironically (in that it is unpowered), I have, while using it (in the garden, renewing the pool-and-path decking), attempted to stop a suddenly-released crowbar with my face. It was effective, though there are probably better ways. I trust my self less with powertools than I do TL1.

Doesn't sound too difficult. Just like a crowbar, hey?

First firefly
I just saw the first firefly of the year, in the garden, right where to day I cut sum overgrown grass. I must have disturbed something. Usually we see them in full summer.

I called the girls, LD was ecstatic for a microsecond than started to chase it.
Like they say, when the deaf arrives it is the end of the concert.

Looks like the sort of work that leaves the body in need of a good, deep, long, theraputic massage...

But about your dislike of power tools.... I thought you didn't have much luck with hand-tools. Didn't you have a mishap with something like a crowbar that had a bad attitude....

Isn't that sort of like punching someone in the fist with your chin?

I regularly take antihistamines for hay fever, (which have a warning label on the bottle about operating machinery when taking) have convinced my wife of the dangers that could befall me if I were to try using the vacuum cleaner...
