Land Slide

After a council truck kindly reversed into our Punga retaining wall on the drive it has been breaking away. We had very heavy rain at the end of last week and it could not hold up any more and decided to slip down into the drive. 

Poor John got out in the rain on Saturday and once he’d moved and cleared all the soil, started to try and brace up the bank. 

He is amazing and somehow found some bracing wires to attach to and create a mesh wall with chicken wire to hold the soil in place. 

He then used some pungas from around the garden to make good the wall. 

Lastly he had to shovel all the soil up over the back of the punga to fill in where it had slipped from. He was completely exhausted at the end if it but did an amazing job.
