I agree Wilson. I only had to splitface 6 pieces. That wasn’t worth the hundred dollar rental fee, so I used my trusty chisel. Have a good day, Tom

The homeowner tried to pursue legal action against the town, but he couldn’t get any local lawyers to take the case. All the local lawyers wouldn't go against the town, or they said they had some kind of conflict. He decided suing the town was a gamble. He could spend much more than he’s paying us, still loose and be back at square one. Thanks again, Tom

Hello Blaster. We purchase almost everything from our local plumbing supplier. Jackel makes the basin, lid and grommets - jackel.com/ The fiberglass basin is 24x48 with anti-flotation. The catch basin is Polylok. I buy them from amazon or www.zabelenvironmental.com/ We use their 12, 20 & 24 inch basins with risers. Green pipe is 4" SDR35, discharge is 1-1/2" Sch40. All purchased from the same plumbing supplier, but you can buy from Lowes. I hope this helps, Tom

Thank you Jim. You always give us the nicest compliments and we look forward to your comments. There will be a pt3. Thanks again and Happy Thanksgiving

Thanks so much Sean. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Have a good evening, Tom

Heather, you must have missed where we said that this was a temporary bubbler while we wait for the town to install their inlet. Once the town does their work we run another 80 feet of pipe and we will change the grated lid to a solid lid. The rain runoff will then go to the city infrastructure - 38:50

Very nice Eric

Thank you Matthew. We got it done anyway. I hope you can watch pt2.

Thanks, we appreciate it. Have a good day, Tom

No, we tried. No slack at all. I did push down real good with the mini. That may have gotten us a little. Thanks again, Tom

Thank you very much Alexei. You’re awesome.

Very true Alexei. Wait until you see the way the town is letting us tie into their infrastructure. That will be in pt3. Thanks

That’s exactly right Sanguine. Thanks

We are under fire restrictions, but no watering or water restrictions.

Absolutely true Claudia. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and have a good day, Tom

Thank you Zack. We’ll try to upload more often. Have a good day

Beverly, thank you for your amazing compliments. Dawn and I appreciate your kind words. Have a great day, Tom

You’re awesome J-Dawg. Thank you

Thank you very much J-Dawg. We're glad you liked it. Have a great day, Tom

Thank you CC. I believe they can function as both dry well and catch basin, or hybrid system. Catch basin for the heavier rain events and dry well to percolate small rains and runoff from the neighbor's irrigation. When there is more water than can dissipate it raises up and then goes down the pipe. I use this method on many of your systems. If you watch pt2 you will see we have stone the entire length of the pipe. This also allows some of the water to percolate back into the ground. I like when we can send some of this water back down to help recharge the aquifer. Tom

Thank you so much Rick. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tom

We haven’t meet that person yet Blake. And, this isn’t the only house on this street with the same issue. This homeowner’s problem became much worse when they cleared the property across the street. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, Tom

Swede, this isn’t a French drain and the pipe isn’t perforated. It can leach water and be like a French drain, but we used the stone to easily fill the voids around the pipe and for quick compaction. The stone won’t settle, like soil can, and we do need to worry about a call back. We do wrap our French drains and 3/4 wrap our leach fields/trenches and dry wells. I hope I answered your question.

Hi William. We still have another 80 feet of pipe to lay plus the city tie in. We’re waiting for the town to install an inlet by the street. So, we’ll definitely be back and filming a part 3. Thanks again, Tom

@tyelandscapinganddrainage I'm looking forward to seeing how it works out..

Thanks again William. Someone just needs to get the town motivated. We’re hoping to complete this before winter. Fingers crossed. Have a good weekend

@@tyelandscapinganddrainage Hopefully some town official will see your videos, and maybe motivate the proper maintenance team to get it done

I understand how it works with local government. I am retired from a municipality.

Thank you very much 45Nuts. Thank you for your generous gift. You're awesome! Have a great weekend, Tom

Thank you Elemento. It's always nice when we have enough access that we can use the B26. We bought it in 08 and it has worked flawlessly and without one issue - knock on wood - lol. I just replaced the factory battery this year. When you get your B26 I think you will be very happy with your purchase. Those mats are sweet and much better, but I prefer the 1/2 inch plywood. They're light and easy to move around, the mats are around 100 lbs. Plywood costs 25-40 bucks, mats are over $200. The plywood usually last 2-3 years. When they get bad I cut them up for some other use. Thank you for sharing your insights and have a great weekend, Tom

Stig, hello from New Jersey. Thank you very much for your spectacular comment. Have a great day, Tom

Thank you David. You're awesome.

Thank you for sharing your insights Jonathan. Have a good weekend

Thank you Nic. You’re awesome.

Thank you very much David. Have a great weekend, Tom

Diego, we believe the culvert was there before this development was built, but there’s no way to know for sure. The culvert was definitely there before this homeowner bought the house, and he purchased the house 2 years after it was built in the early 80’s. I don't know how a town engineer would approve building this home and another with a culvert just like it a couple doors down. When this homeowner bought the house it was very overgrown in the back and he couldn't see the culvert. Once again, this was the early 80's

@@tyelandscapinganddrainage then the last owner is legally liable for not telling the new owner, there is always someone that can get sued. unless the new owner changed something. like the pitch or filling in a creek bed. thanks for the response.

You're right Diego. The only thing that changed was the neighbor across the street removing all their trees, in the front yard, and installing a well irrigated lawn. Pt2 is up if you're interested. Have a good weekend, Tom

Thank you very much Lee. I guess we’ve never tried to remove the panel next to the gate before. It does make perfect sense, but a little inconvenient for us. It all worked out. Thanks again and have a great weekend, Tom

I’ve never heard of that rule.

@ not a rule, it’s a law. 1926.600(a)(3)(i) Excavator, Bulldozer and scraper blades, end-loader buckets, dump bodies, and similar equipment, shall be either fully lowered or blocked when being repaired or when not in use. All controls shall be in a neutral position, with the motors stopped and brakes set, unless work being performed requires otherwise.

I found this - However, OSHA does not have jurisdiction over federal agencies, state, and local governments, those that are self-employed, farmers that only employ immediate family members, and employers of non-employees.

@@tyelandscapinganddrainage 🙄 I guess that makes it safe then? How are you exempt? Because you are self employed? You have a registered business. OSHA has every right to pay you a visit

Thank you very much T. Have a good evening, Tom

Agreed, thank you Jonathan

Thank you Puddlejumper. Yes. In pt1 you can see how saturated and mushy the ground was. There's no way we could run machines back and forth without the plywood. It would have done a lot of damage that we would have to repair. I also especially like the plywood for ease of cleanup. It's very easy to brush or shovel the soil that falls on the boards into the trench. Without the boards the soil gets compacted into the grass and is very difficult to cleanup nicely. It also takes a lot longer to cleanup without the boards. I hope I answered your question, Tom

Unfortunately Mother Nature will always find a way, and directing the water is better than betting against mother nature.

Thank you for your incredible compliment Elvis. Thank you very much

Thank you very much Oermama. Hopefully we can finish this job and pt3 will be along soon. Have a good day

Yes she does. Thank you Wade.

Thank you Cableguy. We’re still patiently waiting and hoping they get to it before it gets too cold. Thanks again, Tom

Thank you very much Brent. You too

Yes she does. Thank you RW

Thanks very much Tony. Dawn and I appreciate it. Have a great day, Tom

Thank you very much Dave. Have a great day, Tom

Thank you very much for and incredible complement Calivalley. You're awesome

Hi Jason. We used the rock to easily fill the voids around the pipe and for ease of compaction. The stone means we don't have to worry about any settling I hope I answered your question, Tom

Thank you very much Jswyman. You're awesome!

Thank you, we'll remember that for next time
