Today, in glorious sunshine for most of the day, we completed the 2nd line
of sewage pipes and got it bedded down in gravel before any further possible
collapses of trench walls!! Nothing did after all but .. !

The 3rd and final trench is now cut, and the pipe has been fitted together.
We just need to bed that one into gravel and make sure the slope is properly
maintained.

All the pipe runs goes downhill at an angle of 1° which is “1 in 57” which
means 1 metre rise (or fall) for every 57 metres of pipeline. The
requirement for sewage runs is between “1 in 40” and “1 in 80” so we got it
smack in the middle, the one degree angle is very convenient for when the
plans were drawn on the computer ? Smile!
