Land Planning - How to Plan Outdoor Facilities?

So the snow simply suits your house.

But I actually believe snow suits every house :)

Mh no. I think [meinem] suits more wild green. Does not seem so dismissive

Since my last post, almost 3 months have passed again and the weather keeps thwarting our plans. We still have an excavator here, so "heavy" work takes priority. Paving paths will come later.

We have a slope by the house. We have thought long and hard about what to do with it. For transition, last year we sowed it with wildflowers and it was so wonderful, this sea of flowers and the variety of insects. But it shouldn’t stay like that. I had imagined a dry stone wall, the builder was horrified....

Last week spring weather came and for some reason the builder suddenly got hooked and wanted to start with the dry stone wall.

So he first sorted fieldstones out of a rubble pile (from the demolition of the parents’ farmhouse). Then he dug out the ground a bit more and started stacking.... by now he is obsessed with stacking. He says it has something meditative.... The weather changed, from the wonderful spring weather it turned into scary snowy weather with icy wind... but he keeps stacking. In total it should be about 50-60m. A good 30m are done now....

Attached are a few pictures

House demolition, sorting rubble piles, preparing fieldstones.....

Excavating, laying the "foundation," stacking...

level, level, level.... in between always go fetch stones (the rubble pile is about 100m away), then tamp down, then straighten the small earth mounds again....
