Wall prep and driveway formwork started

Today the guys were continuing preping the wall for the pour (which will happen on wed morning now, not tuesday as was planned) and forming up both area around the catchment basin as well as the driveway.  Once the wall is core filled, the aggy pipe can be laid behind the wall with aggregate installed ontop and finally some top soil.  Once that's done, we'll be ready for the top of the wall to be saw cut and the driveway concreting can start. Things are really moving.

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.
