We wanted a path at the back to make it easier for pushchairs, wheelchairs, wheelbarrows, skateboards, bikes etc., basically ADA accessible. We’ll put a nice bluestone path down at some point. The bank on the right will be reduced to a much lesser angle, maybe 55% in front of which we’ll build a crude bluestone wall with plenty of pockets for plants such as ferns etc. The grading won’t be finished until we reach level ground so we may be digging another five feet or so out.
This was taken over Sunday and Monday. I could only do an hour or so on Sunday as it was raining.
We pulled out a lot of rocks, most of the big ones were about 3′ from the house so we think this may have been an earlier wall supporting a path.
As you can see our magically filling wheelbarrow is still working fine, thank Harry!
Hmmm, we now seem to have an obstacle in our path, the Mysterious TT Stone.
