We met the builder and the retaining wall contractor on site during the week commencing 04/03/2013.
The retaining wall start date was set for 11/03/2013. On Saturday (09/03/2013) I was on site and had a slight concern regarding the most likely reference point for getting the back retaining wall parallel to the house.
I called our builder, who took the call on a Saturday, and then offered to meet us on site the next day. On Sunday (10/03/2013) our builder and his wife gave up their day to meet us on site. We spent half the day pegging out the site. Thanks Kerry!!
I doubt that many other big home builders would be willing to give up their Sundays just to put a customer’s mind at ease!
Retaining wall work commenced on 11/03/2013.
The soil to be retained.
Pulling back the soil in preparation for holes for the galvanised steel posts.
Lots of holes down both sides and across the back of the property.
Some holes are 2m deep!
Getting the posts nice and straight.
Smooth concrete down the sides and timber-look concrete for the back. Fence brackets are on top.
Retaining wall construction was completed on 27/03/2013.
We were really happy to see the builders sign up on 25/03/2013!
