The inspector came on Tuesday and the cement truck came on Wednesday to fill in the foundation of the new back wall behind the house. At the back of the photo, you can see some of the old retaining wall, which they kept.

This wall will be just behind the house. This is on the east side.
This is on the west side of the house, with the old retaining wall retained here. In between is dirt, which will support the bridge from the second floor to the backyard.

Behind the walls above, is another wall, called the debris wall, which is designed to catch any debris that slides down the slope in a rain or earthquake. It stretches across the whole backyard from one gully to the other. Beyond it and up, you can see the citrus orchard on the other side of the east gully.

The debris or diversion wall. This sits at the bottom of the lowest tier of the backyard.
