(5) Jan 2011 Fixing the dam wall at 3rd dam


January 2011

 Peter Hammond volunteered to fix the leaking dam wall

A coffer-dam was built from rocks
Clay soil was stamped down making it watertight


 The hole was cleaned out


15 wheelbarrows of cement were mixed


It was packed into the hole, and along the whole bottom area of the wall


Finished! Within three days the water had covered  the coffer-dam and the dam filling up.
Great job!!
