Finally the culvert

So after about a month's worth of phone call exchanges, Mr. Lacroix showed up with this truck and backhoe and unloaded 200 tons of sand right in front of the lot and started cleaning the ground to install the 24' culvert. After properly packing the sand underneath so that the tube doesn't sink too much after packing another 2 feet of sand over it, the culvert was installed and the driveway entrance started to take shape.


While Mr.Lacroix was gone to a dentist appointment Yvon took the time to properly inspect the culvert......*sigh*


It was really cool to see this guy go with his backhoe. It made me think about all the times I tagged along with my uncle Maurice to go push some snow or dig holes in my grand-father's back yard. hehe









Next step will be for Mr.Lacroix to come back and unload another 2000 tons of sand and and gravel to complete our driveway and clear the ground of stumps and prep for building.

Anyways, lots of pictures and videos to show for. You can see how the work was done.
