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.
I need to install a drain across the front and down the right side…. as far as I can.
More to come on this.
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.
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 concrete door slab back and started spooning out what I could with a garden trowel.
That pine pole sitting on a brick is actually secured with a star picket.
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 good.
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.
