A bit of an update. I've finally got a concrete drive going in Hooray! No more muddy winter and dusty summer.

Here they are working out all the falls for the storm water drains.



There's plenty of storm water drains in it as I don't want any chance of water going into the shed or garage.

The first couple of sections went in yesterday. This is a pad at the side of the shed that will be good for parking the trailer out of the way.



I've got them to put an apron around the whole shed so It'll be easier to go around with the mower. It also hides the bottom edge of the shed slab which looked a bit dodgy from the outside.



The soil level will be built up to the edge of the concrete.

They will do the rest in about 3 seperate pours as it's a large area. They reckon it'll be finished the end of next week.

We went with 5" thick 25Mpa and F72 mesh as I want it to be strong and stable especially if there is any heavy traffic across it like trucks taking stuff into the back yard etc.

I'm happy it's finally going in. We have had a dirt and gravel drive for 3 years and I'm really tired of it.

Cheers
