Drain tile…Day 3

The Slettens are back to do the drain tile in the basement before they pour the cement floor. Chuck spent the day digging the trench for the rock bed where the drain tile will be installed. The hard packed clay makes for some tough digging.

The outlet for the drain tile system in the crawl space comes through the end wall and will connect to the sump basket that will be installed close to the back corner.  The basket is something like 18 inches in diameter and 2 feet deep (its visible in the background in the left hand photo above).
