The drain tile with the sock surrounded by peastone has been embedded in the trench -- the drain tile running along the the length at the back of the wall is sloped with a crown at length so the drain tile would spit out the water at each end. Following the natural contour lay of the area the surface from the the back of the wall has been graded to form a swale running along the length of the trench and the drain tile. The graded area from the trench line to the back of the wall has now been covered with top soil.

The drain tile has been laid in the trench surrounde bty pea gravel and now the trench has been covered with top soil. The next step is to spread some grass seed  and hooray we would be heading to the home stretch successfully completing the project soon.

Restoration work has been progressing well -- getting to the home stretch now ...

Area at the back of wall is being graded in such a way that the surface runoff sheds away from the wall, and additionally a trench drain with socked perforated corrugated drain tile is being provided some 4 ft away from the face of the wall.

The trenching work and laying the drain tile is progressing well and will be completed soon --

leading to successful completion of a difficult project!

The upper part of the lime stone columns is in place now -- concrete cap, buttresses at the back of the wall, and lime stone columns and with structural repairs to the wall implemented, the aesthetic beauty of the wall has been enhanced and the monument wall is now structurally sound.

The scaffolding is coming off -- so the work on the wall is nearing completion. Just the work on grading at the back of the wall and channel or drain tile to shed the surface runoff away from the wall remains to be completed. With the completion of work on the project, Lou thinks the Home Owners Association may want some work done on the North Monument Wall of the subdivision.
