As already mentioned elsewhere, yesterday the staking took place. Right on time, it also started to rain. The excavator belongs to the demolition contractor who tore down the old house and the barn over a year ago. Only now could the debris be disposed of because there were "problems" with him, the authorities, and the landfills. Hence also the small hole or the barren earth. Now you can slowly guess the dimensions. Unfortunately, the gentlemen only realized now that due to our pit and the needed slope, the rear hedge cannot be preserved. Since we want privacy again (there are quite dilapidated greenhouses behind the hedge at the neighbor’s) and we have to stabilize the slope, this means about 50 meters of additional retaining wall at 3 meters high. At least something is moving now..
This is what the property looked like with debris. The front hedge (beech) has already been removed. I am sorry about the rear one (thuja) as it is almost 100 years old and with a few years of care it would have been great again. The house will begin far back on the right. The power pole has been relocated.
