Remember the river I blogged about a while back? The one that runs between our house and garage every time we have heavy rain?
.
.
The one I’m blaming on our new and pretty, but clearly sloping the wrong way driveway?
.
.
Well, our contractor came up with an idea to fix the problem and offered to implement the plan…. which led to this.
.
.
My thrifty husband wanting to save money and doing it himself.
.
.
I was thrilled with the idea of sinking a catch basin and perforated drainage line to direct the water to flow elsewhere.
.
.
Except my spouse…king of the half assed, why bother doing it correctly the first time if you can save on labor projects… had another idea.
.
.
Oh, he sunk the catch basin.
.
.
And screwed the cover on.
.
.
But decided this was enough and no drainage lines were necessary.
.
.
So now we have a catch basin with nowhere for the water to go.
.
.
Yes, he put it in the right spot where water collects… as shown by the morning after a heavy rain.
.
.
But as soon as the basin fills up no further drainage is achieved and we still have standing water.
.
.
Sigh…
🥴
