They way better cover more area last longer and way easier to find 🙂

No but that would be nice! Take care

Well this was before I added French drains in the front and the path the water was flowing under the ground was what I showed at the start of the video from the 2 catch basins and French drain that runs from the back yard to the side yard under the driveway... and you see all the water coming out of the capped exit... Now, I've put French drains in place in the front of the yard and from our water meters and the drainage during very heavy rains is really good.

Thank you! I agree 👍

My daughter Kacy and I leveled the ground, put down 2" Quikrete sand (compacted) and 3" Quikrete Gravel (compacted), and then the 4" colored Quikrete base. Kacy and I had fun doing that work! Kacy and I also completely restored and painted the primary power cabinet. Then, we paid Mississippi Solar (owned by John Wilbanks) for everything else/the full installation and they did Fantastic work! And they visit us once each year for checkups and maintenance review. Mississippi Solar charged us far less than I expected and finished everything inside one day - and their staff is very professional and very nice.

@@kevincrothers that is interesting. Is Mississippi solar in South Mississippi? I am pretty far west in Bama.

Yes, I had the city continue the french drain all the way across the neighbor's property to green space drainage - all worked out great! And it's still draining perfectly! :)

Yes I have. We use Natural Gas to power the generator. The longest utility power outage we've had was around 8 hours, and this generator took it in stride. And the Natural Gas we use when the power is out looks to cost us far less than electricity! :)

or water tanks for every roof in your town to collect the fresh water ..so it;s not just going to the ocean

You are so correct in everything you wrote! I have been working on this for the last 2 years and have made good progress! Goodness do I enjoy that kind of work! :) I will post a new video within the next couple of months would like some of our grass to start coming up for the year 1st.

I have to route the water 2 ways 1 for front and one in the back I will post a new video soon showing how I have developed this really fun work! 2 ways 1 for front and one in the back I will post a new video soon showing how I have developed this - really fun work!

Thank you and you were certainly correct I have stepped up this training and am enjoying the work! I will post another video where our yard stands today with drainage soon as we get a little grass growing this year. Take care, Kevin

OK will try to do better with my next one :)

You know I did think of that but goodness with that kind of rain my sprinklers were staying off with the auto sensor all the time :)

Popping the bubbler top will allow for better flow in a rain storm like this and will also allow for any leaves and crap in the pipe to blow out, cleaning it out with the increased flow.

@@ryanwaltos2206 Why is there a cap on it anyway and what's the difference between a French drain and a normal one.

@@neilmurphy845 it is a floating cap, that pops up when rainwater comes down pipe and encounters the bubbler, otherwise it stays closed to keep grass, dirt, debris and small critters out. Plus blends in with grass so can be walked on, mowed over and such. French drain is a ditch structure with either a porous pipe and surroundings or simply filled with coarse stone that allows water to flow into into it and the sloped pipe carries it away. A 'normal' drain is simply a solid pipe buried in the dirt usually with one opening and one exit.

@@ryanwaltos2206 Thank you!

Yes I agree and have remodelled

Dont forget having to repeat the process atleast 15 to 20 houses in a day and then 5 to 6 times in a week hahahahahshhahahahahahahakillmehahahahahahahaha

@@Mrmidknight-yx9pg luckily the most i have ever had in a day for bait station checks is 4. still they are super time consuming and we are paid straight commission so they suck to do.

@@motaz1975 wait you only do four and get commission?

@@Mrmidknight-yx9pg no i do anywhere from 13-18 houses per day in the summer, with regular services, mosquito and ticks, termite bait checks. i make a very good pay on straight commission, alot more than hourly techs.

That was a big problem for me in doing the monitoring even with a graph it was not easy.our installation crews were taught to use the 20 ft from house limit to attempt to keep each side the same straight line to avoid things like planters ,shrubs and trees being in the way but that didn't mean they always were done that way..they never should be installed where you will have trouble finding them but my personal opinion is the termidor/Taurus soil applications worked better anyway now I have my own company I just won't sell bait stations for termite control

I agree I will try to do better with my next one hopefully you will watch :)
