Retaining wall complete!

It didn't take long. Ford blocklayers completed the wall and it looks great.  It's been a busy last couple of days for site manager Pete Arieni, with surveyor on site providing levels, Peter Rienecker (engineer) doing inspections on the wall, roadbase delivery, waterproofing the back of the wall and Paul Taylor (electrician) planning for wall recesses.  We're now ready for the plumber (Brendan Scilini) to come in and start his work on laying all of the pipe work as specified by the hydraulic engineer - Reinhold Koenning.  Still all going to plan and weather outlook is favorable.

Wall Prep for pour on Tuesday 11.12.2012

During the block wall build, we accidentally constructed a corner too much at the top of the wall, so Pete has marked in blue where the wall needs to end and also marked in blue on the ground, where the plan indicates the wall should proceed up the hill. The last few days have been also focused on preparing the wall for the core fill pour which is scheduled to happen this tuesday 11.12.2012.  Holes were cut into the wall for the lights and foam insets were built by pete to plug the holes from spilling concrete during the pour. Well done Pete for creating 14x of those custom build ply and foam plugs!

Pete helped us out to move forward with sorting out the drainage and erosion issues, before we could continue

Then we had the heaviest rains in about 30 years...
