It was a hard slog, backfilling and core filling the rear retaining walls, but the girls helped out on the weekend and we finished it! There is a couple of 'end' and corner blocks missing, due to not having a saw, but they will b cut this week, as the landscaper is back to do the footings and steps for the next wall(800high on edge of concrete path 2 metres from house)
So here are some pics of the rear wall 'no fines concrete' backfill.
I did not get home tonight until after dark, so the next pictures are a bit dull. Ill update tomorrow in the sunlight. This is the next retaining wall prep, which will have steps built in to get to the yard

| You can see where the steps are located in this one. |
Some have asked me why the steps are located where they are. Wouldn't they be better coming straight from the alfresco? The answer is no. The reason is 'future proofing'. We still have plans to have a pool, so having the steps in any other location would limit our choices. :)
