It was all on this past week at the new house at Struan Farm: builders, painters, electricians, plumbers, fencers, and last but not least the digger. We're taking soil from beside the new workshop to even out this side of the orchard area, which is quite steep, making it easier to mow. The soil is being redeployed to help fill in behind the new retaining wall at the front.
The second part of the digger project was at the front entrance, where soil has been removed near the redwood grove to help driver visibility when pulling out of the driveway. Now I can crack into landscaping here, planting some camellias, a rhodo or two and hellebores under the redwoods, and come up with some ideas for the front bit (may involve a limestone boulder or two).
And in addition to the new retaining wall, the fencers have almost finished fencing around the perimeter. Hedging, here I come!
