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.

Waterproofing the shower. 1 primer coat, 5 coats on the walls, 7 on the pan. Tested and approved by the inspector. Next is upper pan and then tile.
