They have worked all the way up the street - filling in behind them as they go. Now all they have to do is connect the new drain to the old one that continues on up the road...
Is that what they call Greek plumbing or is that a thing of the past now?
lol: lol: lol:
This is just for rainwater... noooo:
They are supposed to be digging up the entire village to put mains sewers in (EU regulations), what a cluster fuck that is likely to be.... ::)
When they did our sewers .....we lived in a cul-de-sac they dug the whole street up and stranded 6 houses ........... noooo: my Cypriot neighbor went mental.......he could not get to work .......... ;D

When they put new lecky cables in our road they just dug up the pavement with both cars on the drive - didn't even knock on the door to ask if we wanted to move them... Three days stranded.
I got my Mini wheels done over in Paigia somewhere - it took me hours to find the guy (and eventually had to drive across a field) because everything was dug up - he said he didn't know which way he would have to go to get to work in the morning or home again in the evening.... lol:
And yes, this new pipe thing will go right across the end of our cul-de-sac... ::)

Well, you pile up some owld rocks on either side of the hole... (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs22.postimage.org%2Fxhvgklvst%2FDSCN0401.jpg&hash=6a5464c375a4159705ac11c0c2016b603787486e) (http://postimage.org/image/xhvgklvst/)
Then you put an bit of owld corrugated iron on top - with a plastic pipe for a drain inspection hole... (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs24.postimage.org%2Ffzs0x86zl%2FDSCN0406.jpg&hash=4ebe2933aecf604418b36e5ac5192902db7b3b8e) (http://postimage.org/image/fzs0x86zl/)
And then you make a mould for a concrete 'cap' for the hole... (https://www.virtual-pub.com/SMF/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs23.postimage.org%2F7ymmhnyon%2FDSCN0407.jpg&hash=eb7434a7439539bcf9da88d5023fb06c1d9ccd28) (http://postimage.org/image/7ymmhnyon/)

If they've arched it, yes, but it needs to be secure. T'other way is if they've seated it on brickwork (or more wood lol: ) and surrounded it with mortar overnight (sort of been there, done that like ;) )

Reh was out with his broom this morning...sweeping all the shite into little piles....
...little piles in the middle of the road - so every time a car went past they were spread all over again.... noooo:
JOM, why don;'t they use those 'thumpers' any more...?
Frog rammers/wacker plates :thumbsup:
All due to H & S but rightly so in this case. Lots of users suffer from HAVS (hand/arm vibration syndrome) and vibration white finger due to nerve endings being damaged. You can still use plant like that but they have vibration reduction measures built into them, and we have to limit the use of them and record duration they are used per day (claim culture)

They always looked incredibly dangerous... like a single cylinder internal combustion engine....

You couldn't make it up... noooo:
Because they didn't bother clearing the site (or finishing the job), the first time it rained the new drain blocked-up with shite...
Some officials turned up last week and inspected the work... but didn't unblock the drain...
Then, in the heavy rain last night the whole thing collapsed....

Apparently the contractors are too busy repairing the school roof (gawd knows what they have done to that! eeek:) to come and fix our hole or put barriers around it... ::)
Luckily the weather looks settled at the moment... lol:
