In an incautious moment Michael McGrath offered the LBT use of his backhoe/digger (and himself), and we leapt at the opportunity to get some decent drainage put in around the shed.  Every winter water from the slope to the highway seeps under the front wall. On Thursday morning the ground was broken, and by that afternoon a sock drain had been laid, backfilled with gravel and cleaned up from the main doors and along the verandah to the river path.  Job half done.  Huge thanks to Michael and also to the Thursday crew.
