My latest project

[sunshine]

I will try to remember that  pacifica.

[pacifica]

I just hope I remember haha. Anyway I forgot to ask, are you done with the project? And where will it drain to?

Ok I just re-read. So will the pipe be covered ......or maybe just the ends are open.

That flower garden is actually a drain system for the neighborhood and all the storm water ends up in it and under the street and on out across the street. I have a loooooooong way to go. My hands  and neck are  in pain today so it's on hold till I feel better. It's too hot anyway but at least it's started. I don't like to leave unfinished business so  I would say by next week if the heat wave breaks a bit.

[pacifica]

Oh wow. You deserve a cooool calgon.....take you awaayyy. St.Sunshine for doing it yourself. And if you consider hiring out the rest you are still gold sainted & more than earned your keep.

[sunshine]

I won't be hired out for anything again.   Been there done that and with the size of this yard....it's all I can handle now.

[pacifica]

Sunny.
I think I meant to say hire out. They work whilst you..umbrella drinks haha

[sunshine]

Okay...much better.

[pacifica]

I can't believe I typed 'out'.....again lol. meant in. But you know what I meant.  Well it's a lot of work and can see why everyone is glad you're taking a breather. Including yourself I trust

[sunshine]

Okay...I did not take a day off. They said severe storms, heavy rain and hail so if I was planning on driving a ton of rock on the lawn I had to do it today. I did it in 3 trips. I am not done but 75%......



The big black pipe is in this gravel.  The run off from the house will go in the pipe and what comes down the hill will go into the over flow gravel that looks like a path and if it gets really bad, the lilies will slow it down too.




This is  the path that keeps getting ruined from mudslides and mulch.





Water  from the pipe will come out on both sides of this island of bushes and run down the gravel.






All water should end up in this drainage pipe that goes under the street.

You're amazing...

[sunshine]

No...I'm tired. LOL

[luvtimes]

oh I can see now... hope it works for you...
 
me... if I had that problem... I would be thinking small pond...lol
 
next rain... I'd like to see that in action... take a video if it is safe to do it...
 
you must be talking a lot of rain water filling that spot...so the rocks act as a filter and the landscape paper acts as a cover to filter the water threw the corrugated pipe and into what?  where?  The flower bed?   
 
This I got to see... video please....
