Florent connects the fosse to the overflow well.
The car park is levelled and compacted and the final kerbstones are added with a slight adjustment to the plan to allow an angled corner to aid reversing from the car park.
The plastic gravel system is delivered just in time.
The trench is cut from the well to the drainage inspection chamber and the pipework (which does not have to fall or be too large as it is pumped) is connected and backfilled.
I manage to find time to finish off the panelling in the corner of the workshop.
With the drive and paths levelled is down to me to play the plastic sheets for the shingle. The paths were designed to be the width of the sheets so laying them was quick with a few minor cuts to allow for bends and bumps. To avoid disturbing the levelled surface I have laid a pathway from the pile of sheets to where they need to be installed.
