Retaining wall update

Base course is now complete. The steps are t be completed over the next 2 days... However I have ran out of blocks, so I will need to order some more! Did I mention this landscaping caper is an expensive hobby?

One good thing from this, is while the base course was still being completed, the drainage was kind of 'tacked' in place. Even still, with the rain over the last couple of days, it was brilliant! Normally, after a heavy rain, the water would sit on the path for a day or two. For the most part of the last couple of days, there was absolutely NO puddle.. albeit for about 10minutes during a real heavy downpour, but as soon as it stopped, it drained right away! Very happy with the drainage!

It rained. Drainage working!
