A digger is lifted into the back yard of property in St Clair, Dunedin, by crane yesterday so it can help construct a new retaining wall. Property owner Barry Gibson said the wall had been damaged by heavy rain in 2013 and was in need of rebuilding.

A small garden shed was lifted out of the yard and over the top of Mr Gibson's house to make way for the machine.

He said the work was being carried out by Christchurch company HGM Construction and was expected to be completed in 10 days, at which time the crane would return to take away the digger.
