Garage drainage - part 1

 

With the weather becoming more unpredictable and extreme these days I need to provide some drainage across the front of my workshop.

I call it Al's Workshop but it's simply  a colorbond steel   garage with four skylights, two back windows, side entry door and front roller door.


The left or fence side is another project that I have been working on. Fig roots and soil from the other side are bridging the channel between slab and fence. This will be ongoing for a while, see my other Garden posts related to this.



Anyway across the front and down the right side but...













there is a star picket and a pine pole blocking the way in that corner of the chook run.












Pulled the concret door slab back and started spooning out what I could with a garden trowel.












Inside the chook run removed the left plywood board to gain access.

Working my way to the right scooping out a channel but have to stop and remove the next plywood board.

Looking down the next section that's the centre pine pole down there and I won't be going any further, the water can find it's own way to drain off to the back.

The distance from that centre pole back to the front corner is 4.5M. and I have one 90mm x 4.3M stormwater pipe left over from another jor - looking
















That's enough for today tomorrow I'll remove that brick from under the corner pole and then start digging to get that star picket out which will be a bugger of a job.
