FIXIN' DRAINAGE AT THE HEN HOUSE!!

Do you ever have one of those mornings that you have a list and plan to get some things done. Well, this isn't what Tim had planned for the day. We got several inches of rain. The lean to on the Hen house has been getting flooded when it rains. Last winter with the snow and it melting and leaving pools of water and re-icing up, we know we need to fix this problem.

It hasn't been a bad summer with rain. So this area was kinda put towards the bottom of the list. But today it is flooded and pooled up with water that is seeping into the Hen House. 
While I was cleaning the inside of the Hen house, Tim dug up the trench he did last summer and pulled out the drainage tube.

He plans to reuse it again.

Tim put in this tubing and 3 green grates. Filled it back in and water has just been flowing through the tubes.

You can see the water just running down to drain out.
WOW!



I finally put the sign up on the correct building.

Check it out after several hours later, it is draining out.


I think we might end up putting gravel inside the lean to.
