The neighbors would also get used to the concrete.
In this location, it will stay looking good for a long time, and graffiti artists are unlikely to bother going there.

The painters have already been here. Or am I confusing something?

Correct, there was one or more artists involved. They sprayed concrete L-blocks that were temporarily placed in a field outside the property (with the owner’s permission).

Fortunately, the sun is expected today and tomorrow. When it rains, moving the wheelbarrow becomes almost impossible. We’ll see how much we can manage. The goal is to cover the upper terrace with topsoil. Approximately 100m² (1,076 sq ft) will be lawn, the rest paved or tiled. The fill depth is about 30cm (12 inches), which means around 30m³ (1,060 cubic feet), or roughly 300 wheelbarrow loads. One wheelbarrow is already ready.

PS: The lift-and-slide doors are finally installed in the correct size. The plasterer is now moving forward.

Baugrundstück an Hang: Fundamentrahmen, vertikale Holzpfosten, Armierung, Wald im Hintergrund.

Don’t dive too deep.
At least once a week, I notice I’m missing about 5,000 square meters (54,000 square feet)

A giant sequoia like that would be amazing. You could even attach a well-equipped treehouse to it.

Wow, that’s a lot of work, building on a slope is simply much more demanding. This is going to be amazing. I’m curious to see how it will look in the end. I always enjoy it when you share pictures.
