4th Section of driveway being prepared

Today was the kerb section of the driveway that was prepared, including the industrial-grade galvanized pipes connecting the storm-water pit/chamber to the kerb guttering. Our hydraulic engineer specified these based on the brief to him that we will have heavy vehicles going up and down that driveway during the house build. Normally there would be PVC storm-water piping installed.
We've also been lucky with the weather, the driest spell they have had for a supposedly wet season.

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.

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!
