I watched the one in the middle (with the satellite dish) being built…

It doesn’t go much deeper than you can see but it is fabricated in a big ‘L’ shape (with the bottom of the ‘L’ obviously behind the wall). It is then back-filled with earth by way of a counterbalance I suppose…

God I hope not too. To spoil such a view would be sacrilegous!

BTW, does anyone have any update on the Pafos/Polis road please?
