this is the road to the drain out the front...
out the side near the tank... {see near the fence.. picture a river about 2 metres across coming down from the backyard... better pic of that to come...sorry} oh yeah..and at the side of that tank is one HUGE trench that dad and i dug running right down the road.. reckon if that trench wasnt there then water would nearly have been in the house.. and there is also a pump there pumpin it away at the same time....
alittle more of the water coming down the side fence.....

mushies everywhere.. these popped up out the front door in one of ma mas pot plants...
and remember that photo from the last post with the perfect mushy.. well this is what it looks like today......
well thats about it.. be back soon with some more photos no doublt.. supposed to be more rain tomorrow.. i deadset reckon that i cant possibly dig any more trenches.. i think the last count is 7 trenches throughout the yard... and if we put the house on the market.. we could nearly have claimed that we had 3 side river frontage today...LOL>... but boy what exercise i'm having doin this diggin.......
