Freeze-thaw is a headache for sure. I ran into that last winter—put in PVC for a downspout drain, used a ton of gravel bedding, and still got a hairli...
I get the logic behind ditching the sock, but I’m not totally convinced it’s always the best move, especially with clay. When I was researching draina...
I just put in a small rainwater setup for my garden, and even that’s more fiddly than I expected. The pump needed a new seal after six months—nothing ...
