Good job but I would recommend you should cover the underground drainage pipe with landscaper's fabric. It's cheap and keeps dirt from clogging the holes in the pipe and eventually the pipe will get clogged and you'll have to dig it back up and do the job over again.

I've seen you dig before, Andrew, without any Dig Safe markings. Man, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts there is no way you'd dig across an electric service without Dig Safe having marked that out first, or any other services for that matter. And I realize they get it wrong half the time. In the Commonwealth, it's a requirement of the law. I give you credit, dude. You got guts. I love these videos.

Hey Andrew here's a tip that will help you out. Weld a piece of flat bar on the back of your box blade on the top and mount a ball on it. Works great to moving trailers around and not having to drop the box blade off if it's not too heavy of a trailer. Just make sure your tractor way more versatile.

Water is lazy and looks for the easy path, holes down give it the easy path without having to get up to the mid/top of the pipe. Yes the rock handles a good amount of the water but when surface water and ground water start up the pipe quickly handles the overflow. One thing you might want to do on future projects is the up hill side end with a surface clean out by putting in a 90 rather then a cap. This makes snaking or flushing the line easier when it gets silted up. In the current form you would need to work from the down hill side to clean it out so are standing/kneeling in the water/muck you are cleaning out of the pipe.

Ya, pipe holes down limits the crap percolating down through the stone from above into holes, if facing up, and filling the pipe with crud over long period; water percs down to bottom of trench and then when it rises into the pipe through the holes on the bottom, its not carrying the crud, and it flows down the pipe as Andrew H describes.

Solid point! Pipes need maintenance to keep functioning over time. Always install catch basin at uphill end & every 50-75' or so to provide cleanout access. You could stretch to 100' but shorter runs are easier to snake ;-)

Holes down is the way to go. Another problem with holes up is the pipe can't drain the water covering the pipe below the holes. You could have 4 inches of water around the pipe that can't drain because the holes are on top. But as usual, another great vid. Thanks Andrew.

Typical 80's ford truck doors, have had the pleasure myself. Keep an eye out for some replacement door hinges, those are about gone and/or the hinge mounting points are hogged out. You can fix that window crank by replacing the plastic knob with a roller bearing, hard part is finding the right size bearing and suitable mounting hardware. Hockey or gaffer tape wrapped on the roller bearing makes it less slippery.

Have you considered corrugated core drain in socks with 20mm aggregate (blue metal ),wrapped in geofabric. its what we use in landscaping in Australia, its what they put under sports fields, too. can be buried under 1 foot of well draining topsoil, and covered with turf(or gravel etc). It is used because it does not silt up for a very long time...Not sure if similar systems are used in america or brand names etc.. Its basically a plastic corrugated flexible pipe 100mm diameter wit lots of holes wrapped in heavy duty stockings, and placed in the middle of a 1 x 1 foot trench, lined with a long lasting permeable silt resistant fabric filled with 20mm rock, and then covered.

Looks like the outlets from the roofs are a big issue here , infiltrating the parking area every time its raining. I would have used an open v trench and connected those 2 outlets from house to it, that way the water from the hard parking surface have some where to go as well. The water you noticed from his trench is not likely groundwater, its rainwater infiltrating that spot cuz the ground is to hard to let the water pass thru.
