Week Two.
Work didn't begin this week until Thursday due to heavy rain. We had the hole in the ground and I was worried that it would fill up with water but it drained away well and didn't turn the ground into a quagmire which I was really pleased about.
Work continued digging out the shed area and the same for next door. We have been discussing the material to be used for the retaining wall and have decided to use railway sleepers which will be protected by a damp proof membrane and a layer of gravel. We are going to go for new green oak sleepers and use a preservative rather than the old and oily reclaimed version as the kids may want to sit on the steps and I don't want them getting covered in oil and tar!
