Landscaping Started

Started some landscaping cleanup and ended up starting the retaining wall template.

It will look a little ghetto for a while, as I'm using scrap wood to determine where the rock wall will be.  In front of it will be a sloped parking pad.  Probably just crushed rock, but I might get it asphalted. Allowing the parking pad to slope will help with drainage, as most of the water from the driveway, and a lot of rain water flows through that area.

Initially I thought I'd be digging a lot, but it turns out that I'll be adding a lot of topsoil to backfill.  The wall face will be made with 1-man and 1/2-man basalt rock, similar to this style.

Accent Paint

Here the paint is about 1/2 done, so with one coat it's a little splotchy on the wall, but gives a good feel for the color.

Harry Potter Hole

Harry Potter Hole, as my friends started calling it, has had its internal trim installed, and I've put paint on the shelving below it.  This will look good once the flooring is installed.
