What are you doing there Nick lol trying to build your own moat?
#1445
Something like that
I am installing a French Drain; it is for extra drainage & flood protection, my yard is pretty prone to pooling water right now.
French drain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I put in some weeping tile and started backfilling it with 40mm drainage rock. I have some filter cloth that goes around the outside of the rock. Once I get finished I have about 2" to put the grass back.
I have been taking pictures as I go, I will put some of them up for you guys.
Really? lol, damn. Although I wanted to hand excavate it just in case I ran into some utilities or other U/G piping.

Should've called me! I have a tool that does that in about 20 minutes!

Sounds like you had yourself quite a weekend.
Won't be able to make it to the meet in a few weeks, I'll be in London hopefully catching Chelsea's final Premier League game!
Have to catch you guys next time!

I basically modeled the whole thing up in CAD to calculate the volumes, I built in a dispersal outfall zone in the front of the yard where it widens out.
I chopped all of the grass out in cubes when I was digging, so now I just have to place it back overtop and POOF... the entire system is hidden underground
Raw Materials;
3 cubic Meters of washed 40mm rock = 275$ (delivered, Burnco)
50' of 4" dia. weeping tile = 40$
50' of 3' wide fiber cloth = 20$

might be able to make it to all 3 events!
#1455
The timing of the first two events sucks for me; I leave on the morning of the 28th for my Vacation... the second falls on my wedding aniversary
(although I will make all 3 as well... a stampede of bulls couldn't stop me )
