What happens here

The mini skid steer is then directed to dig specific trenches for a drainage system. The speaker indicates two existing downspouts on the house that will be connected to this new drainage. Flexible, corrugated drainage pipes are shown being laid into these trenches. The plan is for the two downspout lines to converge into a 'Y' connection, which will then direct the collected rainwater away from the house and the newly excavated patio area, preventing water accumulation and potential damage.

Goal: Establish a functional drainage system for rainwater runoff.

Tools and materials

  • Downspouts — Existing house components that will be connected to the new drainage system
  • Flexible Corrugated Drainage Pipe — Channeling rainwater from the downspouts away from the foundation and patio
  • Mini Skid Steer Vermeer — Digging narrow and precise trenches for the drainage pipes
  • Y-Connector — Merging two separate drainage lines (from downspouts) into a single outflow pipe
