How to Make Money in the Mud

okay we've got a patio sinking and settling you can actually see the differential settlement right around the post right here tim is shooting the grade what we're going to be installing is a French drain system so we're gonna tear apart the patio we're gonna put 3/4 clear Rock in for its perforated drain tile we're gonna take it from this point to walking the path right now that's the way Tim works Lane is laughing because he knows that's true don't you've worked with them for a while haven't ya how much of a drop do we have looks like what three four feet that's a good drop in elevation we'll be able to get the drain tile in with no fork no worries because we've got a storm sewer Inlet 3.27 feet so storm sewer inlets so from the top of the patio to the top of the storm sewer and we got 3.27 we got to get one inch to drop per 8 foot of run we have technically we have 78 Lin ears 81 linear feet so we'll call it 80 linear feet so we've got to technically have 10 inches of drop so we've got we've got closer to 36 inches of drop or more we're very good on pitch so we can go more aggressive with our pitch which will help catch the water faster and drain it away this was Blaine's idea good idea blade your idea was to cut around the pillars putting sellers name achieve nothing punch heat up the brick so they just let the space around the footing for the footing that goes up and down the water that's where the pavers were so how far this way did you have to go Blaine anywhere and the reason you um you boxed it up you can see where you actually boxed out the pavers around it [Music] so that can't happen again oh no any city if this moves up and down the patio stays stays the same good idea what a mud hole what happens when you try to do stuff in December and it rains two inches Green tile hook the sump up so we had no original work over here in the contract but we hooked the sump pump up to a four inch solid drain tile and whenever we delighted that down to that's basement [Music] [Applause]
