Should have just burnt the house down and moved.

It's a brick rough ridin' house.

This was a lot of personal sharing sort of out of nowhere. Very thorough.

In Alabama, that is a rentable multi-unit "villa".

Looked at buying a steal of a house in BKS that would have needed something like this and the estimates were like $15,000...but it was stone and not nearly this extensive. In the end, decided I'm not a house guy #downtownlife!!!

what in the world is BKS?

i'd like to tie my all my front downspouts with my back downspouts with buried corrugated hdpe or whatever and run it all towards the dry creek in my backyard - will that draw ire from the city or whoever?

only if you get caught.

Most code states that you can't increase or decrease the flow/ run off of water from your property to an adjoining property. So, you can't capture your entire water shed and funnel it to one spot(dry creek). That said, if no one notices, do whatever you want.

In reality, most of the run off from the downspouts ends up in the creek/drainage ditch anyway so your probably good. If city comes around they would probably have more of a problem with crossing their easement/property if your property line doesn't go all the way to the bank where the pipe ends.

I think Osha is more worried about keeping Bran safe

any updates, Plainsman?

I've got a few more pics. They've started putting up the waterproofing, filling in the ditch and so forth. I'll post them Monday probably. Maybe over the weekend.

The_Wippuh · « **Reply #65 on:** January 27, 2014, 10:39:58 AM »

Footer drain put in. Corrugated pipe with slits in it and a sleeve around it to get dirt out. Connects with a pvc pipe that drains out by my fence line.

Waterproofing material starts to go on.

Tie-back, done.

Filling in the drain ditch.

Kinda dumb, I know, but they're nice enough to tear about 12 old stumps that were by my old busted up fence line. Super excited about this, I have come to HATE stumps and how hard they are to remove by hand. Lots easier with a back hoe.
