3rd Section of driveway poured!

After much prep for this section, today the concrete was finally poured.  We had to negotiate a few things in this area of the driveway, namely: boundary with rock wall from Adrian (neighbour on the left) storm-water grates, underground wiring and telstra access points - these all had to be correctly positioned/installed before we could start with the concrete. Also included is a roll-up kerb on the right-side of the driveway, which will hold the earth there in place and not fall onto the driveway itself.  Another great job from Pete and his team.

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.
