I see you tapped into an existing drain for your water. I take it this was a storm system, which you knew was there? Also, how did you control the level of water, without it all running away down the original drain?
@moffat27 Hi, yes, there was an existing culvert, which collects water from nearby playing fields, the problem was that roots from a willow tree had entered the culvert, and completely blocked the flow, resulting in flooding at the property, the cutting also ats a a sump in heavy rainfall, The outlet is blocked by a dam/weir, to maintain water level, yet allow unrestricted flow in heavy rain.

although the technology is centuries old and was used by our forefathers, it is still amazing to see it being built today in our modern times, as it was back then when they had nothing else to choose but the arch.
Tennesee stud was long and lean the color of the sun and his eyes were green. He had the nerve and he had the blood man there never was a horse like the tennesee stud.
the bed is 4:1 concrete with some steel reinforcing, and is about 4" thick in the middle, then a cover of weaker concrete to give a smooth surface, and coloured gravel set onto the wet concrete to finish.
I have to know,,what are the names of the musical pieces accompanying the video? Por favor?
