I will bring you along as I go thru every step of the 4-day process, from picking up material from French Drain Man, digging the trenches, layout of the system and why I decided on each component, to finishing and cleaning up the yard.

I tried to make these videos a little bit half install half fun moments of life and family. If you are interested in a drainage system, let me know your story and if you contact French Drain Man let them know JaYoe sent you!
I'm french and I had never heard of a "french drain" ever. Thanks Matt for educating me.
Hahahaha. Maybe it’s a “freedoms fries” 🍟 scenario. Like an American thing.
@@JaYoeNation Ahah it definitely is :)
Described and popularized by Henry F. French, hence the name, look him up on Wikipedia.
“Despite their name, French drains aren't actually from France. In fact, they're named for a Massachusetts judge and farmer, Henry French, who first wrote about them in 1859. The idea was simple: Get water away from the places it tends to collect by carving out an easy path for it.”
You better find some Terra Cotta artefacts with all that digging. Anny is awesome.
Your wife is a hardworker apparently. Kudos to Annie.
she is JaYoe for sure.
HAHAHA Annie is funny..
I live near Fort Knox emergency siren goes off every Sunday
In my town, the building inspectors are basically undercover ninjas -- spot an amateur project, requiring permits, from three towns over, and it's game over. Mess with city planning, like ninja star-throwing tornadoes. Try sneaking a sewer tap without a permit? Boom! Instant 'oopsie-daisy-matilda' with fines zipping around quicker than you can mutter 'code violation.' Maybe your inspectors are more chill, but over here, it’s like living in an action movie! I love driving around in my truck with instant popcorn at these sites.
I talked it over with the company who does installations in the city and they said it was not necessary. Hope you won’t need that popcorn
Annie the Formen 👍🏽Get to work Matt lol
Tough dealing with Chinese labor! 🤣 Watch out! They will want to renegotiate terms!! 😆
Haha. That’s why we’re married.
Oh dear...forgot to lay 3" base of 3/4" clear stone under the weeping tile
Clear stone?
@@JaYoeNation not a mixture, usually limestone or similar, no dirt ie looks washed. Supports tile, still permits water to leach. The stone helps keep roots and dirt from plugging the holes
@@Iamkayaky Usually limestone, sandstone, or river rock size 3/4" to 1" and the tile must be covered and base, then sand on top. The municipality ought to have requirements clearly posted in the planning dept for any trenching and other construction at city hall. In my city these projects are forbidden, you must hire a licensed contractor, for good reason.
