Last 2 days have been busy.

Pete is managing the site like a champ. The last two days the RW2 footings have been completed and work cracked on with the RW1 footings.

Our Plumber Brendan was on site on Sat morning to connect up the sewer line and we had a mini digger in there to dig the sewer line trenches. The Aggy pipe connections through the footings have been installed to meet the locations where the formed up pits are going to be.

Up near the top end of the driveway, we have a 600 pipe running underground and Pete has installed a wire mesh area for where the shotcrete will go - just in front of the headwall running into the pipe.

Pete told me it was like a sauna in there. I can imagine. Well done Pete.

Unfortunately, there was not enough steel for the RW1 footings and Pete will need to pick the the rest of the steel on Monday to complete the steel cages.

Inspection of the footings is planned to happen on Monday 26.11.2012.

Footing steel installed and a much needed arrival

Toe footing steel RW2 section was installed, excess dirt and rocks were taken away and the toilet arrived on site (very good news)

Final Section Concrete Pour

It's been a long time coming, but we finally made it to the last concrete pour of this driveway. The last section took 16 cubic metres of concrete and we proved today that a concrete truck with 5 cubic metres of concrete can reverse up the driveway with no trouble at all. This says a lot about the strength and planning of such a driveway given the slope. It also has greater meaning for the house build - all footings and slabs will have easy access for the trucks in the future! Pete, Will and Clynton were on board today to finish the final section, which looks great - well done guys.

Stage 2 of driveway (top section) started.

We have finally started on the Stage 2 of the driveway - after literally months of rain. We could not have stopped the last stage at a better time - it was hammering down with rain 3 days after we completed stage 1. Peter is again available so we are going all out to finish Stage 2. After sorting out where the garage will be placed (thanks Chris) in order for the driveway to meet up correctly from its current position, we are now ready to install the top section.
