Thanks for the advice
Yes all photos have a date this one was taken 30th December. There would be no one on site till mid January again the ss told me just before Christmas due to the holidays so I remember us taking drives out to keep an eye on the home.
Yes, that day was very memorable as it was pouring down and my husband was saying if I needed to go then go and meet him quickly as he was worried about me driving out there in the weather. With the little ones appointments at the hospital and treatments I keep a diary of when I can meet people and have that all on my phone. I definately remember there was no grade slope behind the garage side and around the alfresco area as there were large puddles of water there and that path way was is only 1.2m wide. We walked along the other side of the home but we had we walk on the neighbours section as that was the only part that was not covered in water otherwise we couldnt get to the back. Why I remember is that I am very particular on going on someone else private property that's why when the home was fenced up I only took photos from the front or side view.
How do I check the trench plugs or pipes? If they were damaged or not to code how does that get fixed?
