They guys were back going right back to work sculpting.
The new drainage ditch down to the underground culvert below the small cluster of trees.
Measuring the drop in elevation with a tripod mounted laser.
Digging up 55' of old concrete culvert pipe in 3ft sections. The entire pipeline has six inches of muck in the bottom essentially making them useless.
Marking the placement of the new culvert pipe.
The new pipe came in two 20ft sections, 40ft total so it was quite a bit shorter than the old pipe. We we went back and forth on exactly where it needed to be placed for effectiveness but also for esthetics. I finally settled on balancing it between the right two carport bays withing six feet of the mailboxes.
Burying the new pipe...
Buried and sculpted!
Next time.....
There is rain in the forecast for Sunday so the guys were determined to get it done by Friday but Murphy's Law reared it's head! The load of rock to be delived and installed as the new driveway in front of the carport was delayed and could not be delivered so it's now scheduled for Tuesday morning. Disappointing for sure but it means I'd get to see how the runoff is handled by the new sculpting when the rains come.
