Deltawerkjes

Ingenieur Jansen managed to construct an impressive dam to counter rain water flowing down the road. Sawed a plastic pipe in half as a mould. 4 bags of 25 kg hormisac concrete, et voilà!


Small addition. Tested with bucket of water, some water sat in the corner, see below. Can’t have THAT!

Before the deluge we build Deltawerkjes

Heavy rain is predicted, up to 100 mm per m²! Oh dear. Better be prepared a bit.



When it rains heavily the water from the road nears the back gate. It has not been coming through, but better prevent that anyway. Same for the road around. A small dyke of sand (many wheelbarrow loads, actually!) and some old concrete blocks to gently direct the water away...?
