Woodshed

First I had to move all the old wood aside, then I've had to dig out a colossal amount of dirt to get close enough to the property line to insert a retaining wall. This is as far as I've got so far, but I hope to make huge strides in the next week. The last week of my two month sabbatical from work.

The pickup truck only really handles 30 blocks at a time so that's a nice limiting factor.
