Driveway & Wimberley

Met up with Elias Sharp to plan the driveway, which now will be placed more to the left, due to the big 42″ pipe that would make making a driveway on the right side more difficult.
This is how the driveway plan is now;

The plan is submitted to Comal County, and an engineer will come over tomorrow morning to check and discuss.
Probably it will require a 12″ pipe to allow water to flow under the driveway near Appaloosa drive.
A smaller pipe will be added further up the driveway, to prevent the crushed limestone to wash down with heavy rain.

In the afternoon, I solved a property tax problem by going to Comal County Office in New Braunfels; a fine I got because the previous owners had not paid up was lifted.

It gives a good overview of the size of the home compared to the lot.
The length of the driveway will be about 30 meters (100 ft)

Today (Thursday 23rd) the County engineer approved the driveway. It will take three 18″ arched culvert pipes made of corrugated metal to prevent rain washing the base (crushed limestone like stuff) of the driveway away. With some luck, both the pipes and the base can be delivered tomorrow.

Coming back I took a few pictures in Wimberley, the best known village near Uzuye Lodge.

The following images are from Wimberley square and Cyprus Creek, that flows through Wimberley.
