Plus if you currently have the time and ability to do the work
That's the other problem. Currently only really have weekends when mini_com is napping. Lest I get guilt tripped into feeling like a negligent father. A mate came over to help me start clearing the overhang. I was so far removed from socialising, it was very difficult to actually communicate what I want him to do.

Can she not play in the garden while you work*? Or is it not safe enough there yet?
What I used to struggle with was fitting things in without then leaving my OH to pick up the childcare, or leaving them alone in the evenings. Seem to get guilt from both sides. A 2nd child really helps with this as all your free time is removed, so you just have to watch things fall apart while your TDL grows.
I feel for you though. That retraining wall will be hard to segment into lots of short jobs like you can do with painting or just clearing the garden.
*obviously not the mixing concrete bit

Fair enough.
The concrete board solution does seem like a good halfway house.
Plus if you currently have the time and ability to do the work then it's best to crack on.
