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! :)

 

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.

Just put an offcut of 3" drain pipe within the wall where the duct will  go. 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!

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...

& after all your wife's hard work organising that! :)

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. Work up an appetite for those chocolate eggs

electric rotavator.

 

I don't want to start from scratch, I'm blindly optimistic that with a little bit of care the grass will grow through its new 'covering' of soil.

 

edit: I just meant stabbing the fork into the ground many, many times, not turning the ground over with it.
