Case and point this was the retaining wall behind our house yesterday after the massive downpour...
Surely after the amount of water we got yesterday there is no way that two…

Question... who is responsible for storm water run off via the concrete retaining wall put in by lend lease?? is it the person at the top of the retaining…

So there is still a lot to do outside and we still need to order blinds lol but we'll get there... Wayne spent the afternoon moving crusher dust from the…
