Able to walk today and doctor says I was over-doing it.
Today, I saw doctor, went to 2 banks (mine and MIL's), went to WalGreens and WalMart then home. Had to go back to WalMart and am now home again. Just chillin' and restin'.

i did this today.....tmw if its not raining, id fill it in with stones, and in more places with dirt on top...only the 'channels' will have stones on tubes, the actual hole is a soakpit, it will have a 500x500 slab sit on top of the 2 bricks (had it sorted)..then dirt on top...the concrete slabs is for stability of the grounds and to protect the tubes/bucket for collapse..and the cobblestone bricks arent staying there its going to be my 'border' between lawn and paved area....its just there for now to 'train' the tubes to align and stay there till i fill it with stones then dirt/grass on top.
![]() ![]() the channels...srry tip your heads sideways or the laptops LOL...

I think that it is a great idea for people who have a horse farm. I have seen many horse farms that have a lot of mud in the spring time. Actually, I have some water that comes in my basement in the winter once a while. It was a nightmare for me ...the flood was two inches half way in the basement. My backdoor in the basement, the foundation is too low. I have thought about the drainer, but I don't know much about it. I didn't want to end up like 10,000 dollars for this project. For example, my small back porch (16 ft x 9 ft) has a long crack and the company said that it cost 30,000 dollars to replace the whole cement floor. The contractor is probably fraud. Of course, I didn't hire him to do it. I would think that it cost between 2 to 4 thousand dollars which seems proper to me. |

Went to the UPS Store & shipped something to FL & something to GA.
Got some lunch, stopped at post office to mail a card then went to the park and walked about 1-1/2 miles. As the temp was in the upper 50's, maybe even in the 60's, the park was a very popular place. Took down the outside Christmas decorations and spotted the crocus leaves peeping thru the dirt in the flower bed. Took down the Christmas tree and put away the ornaments. I'm gathering the other decorations and will put them away tomorrow. Man, I sound like Kristina.

Let's see, I have relaxed a little this morning, had a fight with MIL and won, got PO'd at hubby (he wasn't here to defend himself), took MIL to get her hair done, then thru Wendy's drive-thru for her salad. Came home, then went back out with hubby, and kids and went to Lowe's to look at mailboxes, did not like their selection, then went to Home Depot and found the mailbox I like and bought it. Now, I am home and will fix dinner soon.

Talking about hair...the left side of my head (around the left ear) was shaved for surgery, and it's taking forever and a day to grow! Still wearing my hair pulled back into a pony tail or at times a twist.... It's been a month and a half (almost)....

You can buy what they call "socks" filter material mesh that you pull it along the drainflow pipes, thise black tubes are punched with holes to collect water and you need a gradient only slight willl work, to use gravity to bring rainwater from the area to the pit/hole or stormwater street drain pipe (i did that for the other side of the pavers) i ripped out the U shape 90 degree angled and replaced with a T connector (upside down) and added a catch pit in between that and the flow pipe, was tedious, long ass hours to do it but done it and it WORKs so well...all on my own. no training nothing...i feel i achieved something there

if you ever need someone to bounce ideas on how to do it, or not sure how big just PM me when you are ready, adding to this you would have to find out how deep it has to be and how wide boulders, you dont need to 'buy' or contract thats a really expensive way to do it. Google helps, but also talking to real life people as different areas uses different names, terms and different capacity to suit the area's weather and soil conditions.
Its fun, if hard physical work is your idea of fun, i do find it fun, and i got stronger, no need for summer time gym membership lol also i got more suntan. ![]() this soakpit is only one part, im building a run to add to dog kennels and a gates, and some concrete work of my own to ready the place for the next 2 years-long (money permitting) project, and so on....doing up my place is my 'hobby'.
