Gabion wall almost finished

The last cages are nearly filled.
9 x 1.5 metre deep cages on the bottom
7 x 1 metre deep cages on the top (plus one 2x1x0.5)
So there are 21.5 cubic meters of rock in the cages - which might be 40 tonnes of rock?

We started on the 7th and it is the 23rd today - 16 days - I worked 4 - Richard did the rest!

April showers

Gabions on the second row - nearly filled - but now it can rain as much as it likes and the bank won't slip anymore.
