NOVEMBER
We had been given 4000 paving bricks,
BCA kindly paid for them to be delivered
and for the sand.
Shepherd and Wilson began laying
the bricks
Doesn't the paving look nice?
***************************
At Bottom dam someone enjoyed ripping the bench
out the cement and throwing it down the bank
Wilson and Shepherd re-seated it in lots of cement!
***************************
At top dam
The indigenous blue flowering plants got washed
up onto the weir and blocked the water
The workers cleared it in a morning
**************************
Project new bridge....
Wilson had seen this big pipe in the veld
near the Environmental Centre
It took muscle power to get it up the hill
The two small pipes came out --
rubbish was getting stuck in them
The big one was lowered in...
... and cement walling was put on top
Heavy stones were placed at the sides, so no
big vehicles can get through and damage the bridge
Heave Ho -- Shepherd!
The bridge has worked well despite the last two storms
**********************
At the small parking opposite the playground...
City Parks had given us the poles to do corral fencing ....
but we had to cut them and drill the holes.
Peter Hammond supervised this.
Shepherd getting the single poles out and digging new holes
That looks so much neater and
no one can drive into the park now!
*******************************
Finally --
the Agapanthus at the entrance to Rd No 3 are stunning
AND THAT ENDS OFF 2017
