Actual Civil Engineering Work ... well kinda

I got tired of tripping over the 2 gutter downspouts on the side of the house so i decided to make underground drainage. Here's the first one on the side of the garage.
Step 1. Dig the trench. To go under the concrete i used an ice auger.

Step 2. Fit the pipes

Step 3: Backfill with sand

Materials:
10' PVC pipe ----------------------------- $8
10' PVC pipe with drainage holes ---- $8
cloth pipe cover ------------------------ $6
drain cap --------------------------------- $3
two 90 degree bends ------------------ $2 each

I did buy two of everything for the drain in the back yard which, i haven't finished yet because i had to chisel through the concrete and drill a lot farther with the ice auger.
The bad part is that my yard is all clay, which doesn't let water drain. So i had to use sand to backfill around the pipes.

Snapple

Hey do you want a Snapple? Well you can't because i don't think they make them anymore.
Well maybe they do but no one buys them.
THE END.

Dirt in the Driveway

I had 6 yards of 50/50 - topsoil/compost mix delivered for my garden this year. I also had 1 yard of sand for my new underground gutter drain pipes which i'm only half done with.
The total cost was $200. $50 of that was for delivery. It doesn't look like a lot but it was; 7 yards of dirt turned into 72 wheelbarrow loads to the backyard.
