Fill construction
and Storm drain installation
After the trees and stumps were removed it was time to start importing fill material and installing storm drains. We started this project in the Spring of 2004. We imported 750 cu. yds. of fill dirt and 324 cu. yds. of rock.

Storm drain system under construction. The garage roof feeds into the small catch basin on the left which drains through the second catch basin, into the the concrete basin in the right hand photo, and then drains to daylight through the 6 inch pvc pipe.
Photo at left shows a retaining wall that we built to allow passage around the corner of the building.
Photo above shows how we left the site to go up to Barkley sound and the West coast of Vancouver island.
