We finished off doing our flood preventive measures this morning, by putting more sand along the Loke boundary to block off several point of access for the rain water gushing down the Loke from entering our garden.

We also built another Berm across the edge of our driveway to join up against the garden shed to prevent any excess water from entering our house footprint which is still vulnerable to flooding as it is still 500 mm below ground level.

Finally, we constructed a little diverter at the end of the upper section behind the swimming lane, to make the rain water flow into the swimming lane itself instead of pouring over the edge and down into our building plot. This would collect the rain water coming off the workshop.

All these preventive measures seems to be much needed this year compared with last year, much more so because we now have sensitive constructed modules and other building work that needs to be protected. But it (last year) didn’t seems to be so heavy with sudden thunderstorms!!
