Hey Case, thank for the update. Every time I do a job, it's a new experience. 9 times out of 10, I forgot what I learned the first time. I think that's the real gem in doing KZfaq project videos. 😂😂 At least there's a record for future use.

Your assistant is very good. We have had a lot of rain this winter, I can't remember when it was last this wet. Great information, thanks

Very good update. For your end of your piping right now as well as once you trench, i would recommend adding a end cap that has small holes in it to allow water to flow but prevent critters from crawling into the piping

Great idea 👍

Sure glad I saw the follow up. Love the added clean out line. Not sure I would worry about the lining o/s the bucket. That could clog also. I think I MIGHT add some filter stuff on the inside of what ever I do. I can pull that out if needed and replace it. On pump research I see there are pumps that can handle the clogs of mud. Was up at 3am researching this stuff as it poured down. This am= no water! one of our test holes did have a bit of mud but none above surface area. I do not know if I should use about 10 feet of drain and run it in or just put holes in bottom and be done with it. I have to give my plan to someone to do it as I am just too old. Loved the video and it HAS helped me in my planning.thanks🦇

Thank you 🙏 Appreciate the kind words! Most pumps that can handle mud and small stones are advertised as trash pumps. Most sump pumps are designed for clean water only, but will handle some occasional sediment type material. The fabric around the pit becomes more important when your pit is surrounded by sand like mine. I think a pit surrounded by stone would fare better without fabric than mine did. I may add surface drains in the future, but for now my pit with about one 1/2”-5/8” hole per gallon of water the pump is rated for per minute is working well. Good luck 👍

For a second pump, use a 12v boat bilge pump with a float just above your normal pump off a deep cycle battery with a maintainer. That way if the power goes out you can still get pumped out. And look up "sump pump ice guard" for the pipe outside.

Great info, thank you 🙏

So now that you added landscape fabric will you need to go in every year to pull it out and clear any accumulated sediment?

I sure hope not. Lol

Also how will you bury that outside section into a trench, since it starts like 18" above grade?

@BuildALotAcres 3 ай бұрын

There would be a vertical pipe off the 90 that goes down into the trench and then another 90 that connects to the drain line. The pipes there now outside aren’t glued. They’re just temporary
