Day 3, last 10 feet of drainage ditch.
.
.
For a total of 30 perforated feet.
.
.
I really hope this helps the flooding because it was a serious sh*t ton of work.
.
.
The amount of stone and rock they hauled out of there was ridiculous.
.
.
But it’s done.
.
.
And now we wait for a big rain storm… with our fingers crossed.
.
.
Work continued on the second drainage pipe ditch.
.
.
It’s hard work.
Hard on your knees… hard on your back.
.
.
Because my husband didn’t want to damage the lawn any more than necessary the trench was dug by hand…. with a pick ax and trowels.
.
.
And once it was laid, attached…
.
.
And covered over, my husband decided he wanted another 10 feet of pipe.
.
.
Which meant more work and more rocks.
.
.
To be continued…
.
.
One side of the drainage trench was dug.
.
.
And the perforated pipe was attached to the catch basin and set in place.
.
.
The hose was deployed to simulate rain…
.
.
And water flowed.
.
.
When installation was deemed satisfactory, backfill was added.
.
.
From the lovely little plywood backed dirt piles .
.
.
Hard to believe this took two men almost 8 hours….
.
.
But when my husband is involved there will be some serious chatting along with the working.
