 Finishing inside the cook run.

As posted yesterday before I can finish the last bit of pebble backfilling there's some work to do inside the chook run - in that corner..

We stopped back filling here.

Backfilling the drain

Weather cleared nicely; was able to go out and do some more like back fill the drain with soil and back fill the top end of the PVC pipe with gravel.

Connecting PVC pipe to corner grate

Mixing up some mortar in a spare chook tray bed which is actually a kitty litter tray screwed to a chipboard base. I say 'spare' because we only have one chook left (Speckles) all the others are gone.

 Prepping to put in the 90mm PVC storm water pipe and connect to the corner grate.

About to spray paint the top of the PVC pipe Brunswick Green lol so it blends in with the backfill pebbles.

Lovely morning so let's get out there and mix come concrete.

Rather that fill the whole trench with concrete I'm just doing pads under the joints.

This is the left or fence side.

After three days of inclement weather and not being able to pick up tools (downed tools) it's good to come out of hibernation.

More kneeling... need to cut out the end of that angled timber so the corner grate can line up with the PVC pipe.

What can I use to cut that out?

I need to work out how to connect 90mm PVC to the corner grate.

Garage drainage - part 2

Took me over a hour to remove that star pickett, no room for the crowbar so had to use that garden trowel digging on only one side - phew.

Lucky that I have this one and only 4.3M 90mm PVC pipe leftover from a previous job.

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.
