The Driveway, stage 1 (mid section to road) complete

These are the final photos of stage 1.  We need to stop at this point as Peter needs to relocate to brisbane and it looks like the weather for next week is about to turn on us.  We will start stage 2 once Peter is again available and we have good weather in sight.
Since the formwork has been stripped off and the finishing touches have been applied. The concrete riser from the road is now dried and bitumen installed for some holes in front of the riser. The property has been thoroughly cleaned up and concrete sawcut to allow for expansion in the final section near the kerb.

Final Section Concrete Pour

It's been a long time coming, but we finally made it to the last concrete pour of this driveway.

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.

Pete helped us out to move forward with sorting out the drainage and erosion issues, before we could continue
