Did I tell you the road you now live on looked like that last wet season ?
But don't worry, it only happens when it rains

good job we are on the second floor then

Happy sailing

Not as far to walk to the pool either

And your drain can't handle it?

I'm not being funny, just curious if your have all the plumbing in place with storm drains etc, why does the one concrete slab mess it all up?

JTL

There is no drain as such on that side of the house.
Normally we don't need one as the surface water just soaks away naturally into the garden and path. Loads of rain last year but not a problem.

The difference this year is instead of just a "field" next door there is a bed of concrete meaning there is nowhere for the water to go so we are getting a stream coming through the fence in a few places.

As I mentioned above I don't think it will be a problem when the house is built because they will run all the surface water from the roof into the storm drain. The storm drain runs along the back of all the plots.

The rain that falls between the properties won't cause any grief as it will naturally soak away as it has in the past.

you'll be able to say the same soon mate - its lashing it down - get out there and start diggin

Mine will be a nice long lap pool

Nice. we got one of those now also. its great. saltwater mind but thats got to be better than mud

We had lashing of rain and winds last night here. The local ressie is as high as I've ever seen it It reminded me of being in Cairns during the wet season.

Sorry to hear you're having some probs (we had a mini mud slide at our place too!) we drove passed the cable ski and the car park was flooded with cars still in it yesterday (don't think we'll be buying in canopys edge )
Don't know an answer but hope it gets sorted for you soon

The cable ski carpark floods often, New Years is a favourite.

Canopy's Edge is a lot higher and shouldnt be affected.
