Barry's comments on this bit were slightly melancholy. Existential angst is an occupational hazard of these projects, it seems.

What a lot of work for a bit of pitting. When you start you wonder if it's worth it...

He cheered up, though

... by the end you're pleased you've done it. Lifted the whole area.

I can see what he means, on another part that won't be seen.

My spec to Barry was "concours". Occasionally I wonder whether that was such a wise idea. Glad I don't have to justify this to anyone!
