Then parents talked about putting drain tile in across the road frontage of their woods. I wanted to do this about 2 years ago as it needed done, but was declined. Now, step-dad wanted it done and I said I would make it happen. In the next day or two, I picked up 250' rolls of drain tile to make sure they wouldn't back out of it being done. Then brought in some stone for some French drains and other supplies.
I rented a trencher Monday morning, which looking online said would cut a trench 4-6" wide. I trenched about 200 of the 500' frontage and knew this wasn't going to work. Trench wasn't wide enough and spoils were falling back in trench. So it went back to Sunbelt, they treated me right and have nothing bad to say.
I picked up the JD from home and began digging out the trench and continued. . . . This was alot of trenching but I was getting it done, weather was good until Tuesday night when a small rain was expected. Unfortunately, it rained Monday night and made what was still a wet area even worse.
This is what it looked like yesterday morning when I went back, trench full of water.
Once I finished the trench and cut through the remaining dirt, it flowed right on through to the creek.
Notice I did clean up the welds...
