You nailed the problem with the shop vac. You'll pull up a lot of gravel.
Unfortunately I don't have a novel idea for cleaning. I've always just raked the junk to 1 side and pitched it out by hand. Like I said nothing new there. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Rusk To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, June 15, 2008 1:58 PM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Window Wells Need some tips on cleaning out window wells. The wife suggested using the shop vac, but I was worried about removing the rock or gravel in the bottom of the well. I am wondering if there is some way to open the drain line, which I suppose runs under the wells to carry the water to the floor drain in the basement. Any advise out there?
