Work begins for driveway and retaining wall

After many months of careful planning, studying for and obtaining an owner builder certificate, working with Chris (our very talented architect), submitting plans to council, geo testing, hydraulics, arborist, engineers, building certifier, resubmitting plans and finding the right contractors (phew), we have finally started (with our trusty site manager Pete)... on the next stage of building driveway access and retaining walls en route.  It's a first step but a very important one, which we hope to complete before the rains start this season.
