Unhappy I hate digging!!!

So last fall I noticed the sump pump was spitting out the over flow spout... a little more than I remember... hmmmm

This past winter, it was completely spitting out... made an icey mess in the backyard. But couldn't do shit about it with frozen ground.

So this is what I removed. The 22.5/45 elbows had tons of calcium build up inside... stopping the flow of water. Also, stupid Sked 30 thin crap!! Oh and classic dinner when working hard.



I hate digging... I think I mentioned that... especially in clay!



My new sked 40 thicker job is much better. Even added a full 3" clean out in line as well. All of which will be just barely barried.


The new crazy elbows... can't see it anymore, but there is a 30 to 40 bushing on the old pipe... going downward at a 45* angle downward into the neighbors yard and the larger storm drain...

Of coarse we tested the downward 45* to ensure good flow. Installed it all and test it as well.

3' deep
17' long
$45 in PVC
The joys of home ownership.
I still hate digging.

You don't go early enough then. You have to get there before they managers do before it opens. They run the Mexicans off.
