Yesterday's sunshine meant I could cut the grass on the slope where I intend to put the tyre retaining wall. I don't see in 3D so it's hard for me to visualise a structure but at least clearing all the vegetation shows me what the slope is like - I now realise that the ground slopes quite considerably from the woodshed end to the incinerator!

| No woodpile after the weekend's work |

| A well-stocked 12 cubic metre woodshed |

| Looking good in the afternoon sun |

The tyre retaining wall is planned from the foreground down toward
the incinerator |

| Now to start on the retaining wall |
I have 96 tyres all of different sizes and widths; they are sorted by rim size but maybe I should be sorting them by width. I've checked out YouTube for hints but most vids are for vertical walls, rather than a gentle slope. The plan is to end up with a smooth, level grassy patch out from the deck and woodshed that I can mow. Any hints and tips would be most appreciated!
