Excavation at the back of our houseOne of the holes for the retaining wall still half-full of waterExcavation was due to be completed today, but due to the thunderstorms we had yesterday, the powder-dry clay has turned into a sticky, muddy mess! Way too wet for the excavators to work in. Hopefully we'll have some dry weather for the next few days and they can come back next week.

Looks like the retaining wall won't be finished in time for Christmas.
