So we have done the summer house at the right side. So we were looking for something else to start on. The summer house gets the sun in the evening. The left side of the garden gets in more in the morning and through the day. It used to have the train track go round with a 2 foot wall holding the soil back. This left a pretty small area for a small seat. So we thought if we took a bit of soil out and move the track back it would make a better area. The problem is, once you start its hard to stop!
As you can see, its big hole now. A lot of rock to. Which is the reason for the breaker.
Its a bit rocky. We use a ‘Geda’ to move all the soil and rock to the top of the garden. With a wheel barrow on it. Fill the buckets, tips buckets in to wheel barrow and then send it to the top. Once at the top, the barrow is removed and another one is placed on. It then needs to be taken 18meters out the top of garden, up the hill. We fill a trailer using a ramp. Its takes a bit of going. But we are getting there!
This is the current state today, with 2 trailer loads out today! This is as far as we are going, just need to go down the level now with the path.
As you can see, its all rocks, and HUGE ones. The flat surface behind the buckets is one, there is one under the cover near pick. There is a few about. We have already removed one that was 2 foot deep. About 5 feet long and 2 feet wide. One of the stones there is the top of it! Lol
At least the summer house is done. With the special grass on the roof and pigs! (They are fake…). The track isn’t down yet, as we are completing the other side first. Then placing all the track and points down at once.
Lets just hope its a good summer after all this!

Its crazy how many rocks there is. You’re going to have to tell us how much they all weigh. And how many times you have to take the little cart up the hill lol
