Backfill Drainage & Connect to Pond Outlet

bad this is measure once right so how the saying goes yeah measure once cut twice down the center of that one so that's probably it right there huh yeah it looks about one of the things to point out to you guys is the fact that you'll see that part of the trench is wrapped in fabric and we finished digging and part of it [Applause] there's water still moving through it so there must have been a lot of trapped water in this foundation the old drain tile system wasn't doing anything so how many years was it not going anywhere you know yeah so the reason i want to point out that some of this actually has filtered fabric wrap is that's all a permeable system it's going to be filled with rock and it becomes a front and active french drain but at some point we just want to get that water to flow and go so where we know we're not worried about building a french drain we then convert to a hard pipe and extend it all the way out [Music] so this is the area where we've switched from a french drain to just a hard pipe we're at that point we're just trying to get the water to go right down to the pond as fast as we possibly can we're not worried about sucking up any of the ground water from that area because it's not jeopardizing anything and it's got it's close enough to the pond that if it's gonna flow it's gonna go [Music] so the boys have some light grading to do and we had a little bit of extra stuff that we had on these unexpected surprises kind of delayed us on this project but we were able to get through
