OK! I think thats the 332.

Kaviar · 09-09-2009, 02:02 PM

Well! Thanks to the info you guys gave me I managed to get my stream piped and back filled. I got ripped off with some of the materials, pipes,sand,cement, backfill. But the total cost still came out at less than half the price the builder quoted.
Plus using a spade after such a long time did wonders for the old beer belly.

Here's some pic's enjoy!

hooray, success

smeden · 09-09-2009, 04:06 PM

nice work look ok to me

A success indeed. Looks well done. Now you only have to locate a very long pipe cleaner to remove all the debris when it clogs up.

A few manhole covers spaced along the length of the culvert may be the answer.

Unbelieveable.
How come they didn't get dirt all over the wall?
Looks good

For a while in my past life I was a plumbing and drainage inspector and you get a pass from here. Know what you mean as to being on the end of a shovel good for the body and soul.
