After a devastating flood event this winter, we have been installing new drainage systems in anticipation of the next storm. Initial damages can be seen at our previous post, Disaster in the Dark of Night
Odin and Mitra are testing the new trench that Maarten and Filippo are digging for us.
Boat races are great fun in the heat of the day!
We added a third plastic tube to the existing two tubes, as well as an earthen berm reinforced with a stone wall, to keep flood waters from coming down the pathway to our house.
We still need to pour concrete, reinforced with iron mesh, to stabilize the ground when the floods pass over the spillway.
The large boulders used to build the initial structure are holding firm.
The process of building this part can be seen at Road Building
Now we wait for the next storm to test our new system!
