Great job, we have just moved and tackling a back yard problem with this, but slowly with the help of some professionals we are getting to the bottom of it!
Good video. Loved the jokes too. After digging and before the gravel, some put a non-woven geotextile fabric in the trench to permanently separate soil and gravel. Some even use the socked ag pipe too.
Don’t know why I watched that as I don’t have drainage issues, but that was an entertaining 14 minutes. I’m trying to work out where you are. Definitely not QLD or WA. Not Adelaide as you would be trying to bottle the water. I reckon Melbourne. I’ll have to watch some more vids. Cheers
Great job with the drain. What a shitty job! Having the pro concrete fella lend a hand would have been a welcome surprise! Hopefully you see the benefits from your labour!
Cheers mark. Yeah was a fantastic surprise! The first beer I gave him was room temp accidentally however 😆 corrected that quickly with an icy one however
Great work. 👍 Can you get some footage of it working during heavy rain? Would love to see it in action! Digging is very hard work! Have you installed the new gate?
You won't see anything during heavy rains. A drain like that attracts water already under the ground to dry the underneath. A drain like that does most of its work in the days after the rain.
Yeah works a treat and ground drains perfectly. I’m a bit more south than where the terrible floods are happening at the moment however. Thanks for watching 👍
Is this required by law? I'm in toronto, canada. And want to install a garden bed against fence, do I need a drain system like you've installed to move water along the neighbours babckyard along?
Ur a funny knt lol .. mate don’t u have to have a high point snd a low point in the trench ? How did I manage to measure that . Wanna install around my house foundation on one side of the house and tap on the corner gutter storm pipe
Hey man I had natural fall towards the street which seems to work well. I guess bog flat ground you may need to incorporate fall into the trench to get water moving?
Through the existing terracotta pipe. Took a bit of force as the terracotta wasn’t great. May have cracked some PVC in the process. Was a 3m length so had to trench back into the front yard to get it through
The customer probably felt sorry for you when he saw you ordered a truck for 0.05m3 of concrete that you could have mixed in a wheelbarrow, and saw you didn't have concrete tools 😆
@@lawndreams5952 25 years metal fabricator site pressure welder and engineering....Always have the contact point of the blade 90 degrees to the direction of the grinder so if the blade catches it punched forward not up towards you and also when ya get good technique ya can aim the sparks as when ya get the sweet spot the grinder does all the work...
Hey mate I rammed a smaller dia PVC pipe through a larger, partially blocked ceramic pipe. A combo of high pressure garden hose and hand digging from either side under the path also works if no existing conduit (have done this for irrigation)
