The ditch has been dug, the gravel is here to fill in after we get the pipe laid but before we can do that we thought we would take an extra measure of protection on the basement walls, we applied a basement sealer to it
I have been working on this on my day off while hubby is at work, he can put the second coat on after this is dry HA HA - this left side is where the back porch is and where we are starting the drainage pipe (this is the back side of the house)
back side of house still
here you can see the end, the ladder is for me to get in and out, because unlike my daughter, I am NOT running up and down the trench to get in and out
I have even put this sealer on the footer where the block start, better safe than sorry
see the water laying in there, oh yes, my shoes were a horrid mess by the time I got out of the trench
that's the first coat, will let it completely dry before we do the second coat, then we will lay the perforated pipe then gravel on top of that and then push the soil back in
we will be running the gutter drain also into the drainage trench to have it flow out into the roadside ditch
will update later when I have time
