The boys did a great job today, preparing the 1st section of driveway for the pour first thing monday morning 17.12.2012.
Pretty much everything that was done up until this point (the geotech work, the hydraulic work, the engineering of the wall, the installation of the stormwater, the electric/telecom/internet cable install, sewer install - everything, had to be done before we could start on any driveway section. It would have been nice if we just said, "hey let's pour a driveway slab", but no - all the other stuff HAD to be done before we could do, what we came here to do - build driveway access up to where the house is planned to go.
It's been a journey so far, an experiment even - but the photos below show the results (even though not yet finished) of much effort and planning. We're nearly there and really excited about monday. Well done to Pete and the boys for the professional grade quality they're installing.

| Apparently, the positrack machine super compacted the roadbase after driving over many many times - what we wanted really, but doesn't help when you're trying to dig a trench. Pete reckons digging this trench nearly killed them. |
