Well, we had the garden tidy for a few weeks, so it's time to mess it up again! We have arranged for a stone-waller to come in, and continue the wall near the house, and take it right down the garden, around the walnut tree, and slope down to create a ramp. He will also build us a wide set of steps, as well as a pump house, to locate the machinery we need for the pool. By co-incidence, it is actually the same man that built the original wall (so he said!) so he should have no trouble matching up.
He is due to start the work in the first week of June, but we have had to do the foundations. Not a problem for man or machine (and I even barrowed some of the cement too). Within a few hours, the job was done. Completely. I can't begin to imagine what it would have cost us, if we had needed to hire in any equipment when doing these jobs, or if we had had to pay someone else to do them for us.
