Onoff Posted March 24, 2018 Posted March 24, 2018 What's the elevation of the garden / falls from where the outbuilding is going to the foul drain up top. Let's do the maths!

Let's do the maths! I think you should find something more productive to do. There’s no need for maths as it would work with a conventional setup. I just won’t be doing that either. 1

Or a bit of 110mm soil.....or a stiff cardboard tube etc if you haven't got the duct yet. Bean/soup can at a push!

daiking Posted March 28, 2018 Author Posted March 28, 2018 Micro digger and mini dumper arrived, waiting like an expectant father for guys to arrive. Cardboard tubes at the ready (h/t worlifts)

daiking Posted March 29, 2018 Author Posted March 29, 2018 Day 2, massive trench in the garden. Trusting builder to put 2 ducts in the correct place before pouring concrete. Clearly I am a big fan of roulette, Russian rather than French. The lawn, the poor lawn...

Not a great loss, its like a ploughed field with grass growing on it. I need a lawn mower with tracks not wheels. I need a new fork but I’ll be spending Easter Sunday forking and raking the newly compacted soil over the top of the grass.
