We resumed our work after our little holiday by constructing a berm to stop the rain water that flows down the Loke from entering our driveway and our house etc.
Loke-Driveway-Berm-1
Loke-Driveway-Berm-2
It is basically made using 4 lengths of 2×6 inch timber, slightly buried into the surface in the upright position and then a double line of bricks laid flat to slope upwards to meet the top of the timber from both sides. The bricks had a gap between them to allow the sharp “fines” to embed between the bricks and lock the whole lot together.
Now, we hope the rain water will flow pass and find somewhere else for it to soak away – smile!
