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.

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!

Footing steel installed and a much needed arrival

Toe footing steel RW2 section was installed, excess dirt and rocks were taken away and the toilet arrived on site (very good news)
