This weekend work continued on the front retaining wall....and when I say work continued, I mean that Ben worked on the wall while I attended various breast cancer awareness lunches and Guide cooking days! It's a hard life...
Even with all of Ben's hard effort over the past three days, the wall is not quite complete yet. I'm away camping with the Guides this coming weekend so Ben is going to have another weekend working on the wall all by himself.
We do have a few pictures of his work in progress so far though. In terms of materials, we have just gone with standard concrete sleepers. They look a bit ugly at the moment, but at least this means that the soil is not going anywhere. Eventually though, these will be faced with stone to make them look a bit prettier. This is one of many jobs on the landscaping "to do" list.
Lots of progress has been made inside too, tidying up those last little jobs. The electricians have been back on site to hang the servery light:
The plumbers have installed all of the toilets and tapware:

| Main toilet |

| Kitchen sink |

| Outdoor tap |
PK is expecting the Certificate of Occupancy to hopefully arrive by the end of the week, so not long to go now!
