Another Our House, Our Street.
October 27th, 2009 | 
Author: Today’s input contains a lot of photos, and that may be the end of my pictorial story. We start with the frame in place to pour concrete for the 3rd hole.
Of course, there is a lot to do around this hole yet; the concrete has to be poured around the frame, for a start, and the various pipes inserted into it. One lot will take the water away, while the smaller ones will bring waste water from the culvert, and into the drain for dispersal. The ‘old’ pipe in the front of the picture is the one which was put down many years ago, but it is time that it was retired.
The photos above both show the 3rd ‘reservoir’ before having its roof put on,
and this one shows the inlet pipe from the culvert and our drive behind.
We can drive into the drive at least, with a little care.
The fourth hole? Another one?? That is four in about 30 feet. And from the end of the roadworks, at this stage, it looks like this -
It has been an interesting project, following the work, and Wendy sent an email congratulating the men on the work they had done. Our neighbour has been complaining bitterly, even though he was the main instigator in having the work done in the first place. There are idiots everywhere.

Wendy Preece - Boss the Younger
Wendy, Dennis' eldest daughter, computer and internet buff is the driving force behind getting her dad busy on the internet, all of the building of the website and blog is done by her (he just adds the content, but she's managed to teach him how to do a blog post). She will add some comic relief now and then as well as report on our day to day life at times. In Wendy's words "everyone is fair game! And someone needs to fill in the gaps when dad gets slack!"
