Progress During January 2008

  • Sewer connected!
  • Plastic pipe inside the building connects to the clay external pipe.
  • A block conduit will hold pea gravel which is used to support the pipe. Normally a conduit wouldn't be used, just a trench but I don't want any movement as the foamglass under the concrete slab (which is above this whole arrangement) is brittle so any movement could cause it to crack.
  • The inspection chamber sits in a block chamber for the same movement around the foamglas reasons.
  • This is the wrong type of pipe connector when there is a slight change in pipe direction.
  • Re-surfacing the road after the sewer connection.
  • Radon barrier membrane being measured out for under the inspection chamber's block chamber.
  • The correct 'swivel to change the angle' pipe connector.
  • Incorrect polyethene membrane being removed. Stupid mistake.
  • The block which holds the sewer pipe.
  • Sand base to support the radon barrier.
  • Orange radon barrier in, sand bases in bays for the first retaining wall being smoothed.
  • View from above showing the inspection chamber and two smoothed sand bases for the first two retaining walls.
