driveway...done! storm water...(nearly) done!

Check out this gorgeous driveway (didn't think those words would ever come out of my mouth). We should be able to drive on it by the weekend. Council is happy (well, as happy as council can be), concreters are happy and most of all, we're happy!



The plumbers finally broke into the storm water pit, connected the pipe, got the O.K from council, backfilled and poured a new concrete path just before the lane closure finished. Phew!



Next step is to get the concrete pits poured in the ground, connected to the (already laid) pipes and backfill the trenches - then the storm water will finally be finished! I think it's going to be another tricky, fiddly job...and I don't think the plumber or the concreter want to do it. It seems our council is just so hard to deal with that no matter how much we try to smooth things over - it's just a lot of unnecessary hassle for them. Sometimes this feels impossible.
