New roadway under threat, already!

Well not a big surprise as it's cutting across the natural fall of the land and therefore blocks the natural run-off. But if left like this, alot of it may be washed away by next Spring. So only one thing for it, drainage. Here's the tile drain with the bed of 2" clean stone in the bottom:

And here it is filled to the top (took 40 ton :eek:):

How are you doing just_do_it?

Nice job...

I'm assuming that first pic wasn't taken anytime recently though was it? with that much water on the ground.

Excellent work JDI;) The white stuff a good idea on bottom for calves.

Will you be using this roadway for machinery also? Just that paddock gate would be tight to turn in coming from the yard I think .... There is a lad near here that put in a new roadway with a chicane that schmacher would have trouble getting around.

Delaval has finally run out of grass and opened up a desert oasis. Luckier than a black cat that lad, he got the weather for opening day and all!

Timmaay · 07-07-2013 06:36PM

Ha, ill definitely have two feilds close to that very soon, thankfully only those two fields are on a sandbank, I'd have zero grass otherwise! had a similar idea, for the beach besides me, Open up bit of a temporary shop on warm days like today, last ssummer put a quick end to any of those plans ha.

The first photo was taken a few weeks back, probably second week of June. Got the roadway done and then we had that 10 day wet period (and around here it was bad). Posted plenty pics of it a few weeks back.

Nothing wrong with the pic quality, or the pic for that matter!

I was thinking of the drain and I was wondering what white stuff is he on about?! Yeah I've it along most the roadways at this stage and it's the only job, better than wire, tape or twine. I've two paddocks beside the shed that I've triple wire on - wire on top and bottom and white rope in between. Ideal for training stock to electic fence.

That gap will only ever be used for stock. The pics are taken from a crossing over a trench so as it is there is a bit of a chicane! However there's a swing area so no bother for machinery!

Nice stock there. Nothing wrong with the stock bull either, competing well with his AI colleagues.

Lovely stock there. Good stock is good stock regardless of breed. Best weanling bulls I seen last year going through Ballinasloe mart were simmentals and they all made over the €1000. Couldn't get over their weight for age
