Retaining wall complete!

It didn't take long. Ford blocklayers completed the wall and it looks great.  It's been a busy last couple of days for site manager Pete Arieni, with surveyor on site providing levels, Peter Rienecker (engineer) doing inspections on the wall, roadbase delivery, waterproofing the back of the wall and Paul Taylor (electrician) planning for wall recesses.  We're now ready for the plumber (Brendan Scilini) to come in and start his work on laying all of the pipe work as specified by the hydraulic engineer - Reinhold Koenning.  Still all going to plan and weather outlook is favorable.

Wall cutting done, aggy pipe and behind-wall fill installed

Today was a big success, the rest of the wall was cut by allcoast saw cutting and the drainage behind the wall was installed. This consists of an aggy pipe with aggregate stones on top and finally soil as the final layer. Peter was able to use the stockpile of soil on site and ordered exactly the right amount of drainage gravel (10 meters) for the job. Well done Pete!

Where it all started...

We saw this add in front of a realestate agent and decided to make an offer.  After some negotiation, we finally secured the property for AUD$182K.

Top section poured today

What an improvement, just seeing this top section poured really shows how the whole driveway is coming together and also how much load it can handle. Having both a loaded concrete truck and pump truck being able to get up the driveway and be both on it at the same time, tells us that the driveway is doing what it's promised - it's able to handle very heavy vehicles and look ascetically pleasing as well as providing drainage and retaining functions for that part of the slope. Peter, Will and Clynton were all on deck today, pushing out the slab which looks fantastic. Job well done guys.
