That was done (obviously poorly or not deep enough) as project #1 when my yet to be wife bought the place in '80. Supposedly the gutters drain into this also, and I considered taking the sump pumps output and dumping it into one of those, but its far enough away I'd have to dig 3 feet deep to get under the frost line and intercept it for a good 16 feet of run. Considered, but I would have to demolish the back deck to gain digging access. So it appears that I will be adding tan water to the run from the bathtub/shower to the other end of the house, a mod I made in about '92 to keep the sewer working. The folks who plumbed the sewer were an abject failure at the plumbing rule #2 that says shit runs downhill so they dumped the commode into the main run under the basement floor where the solids settled out, blocking the sewer for the rest of the house repeatedly. So I disconnected the bathtub from dropping into that standpipe, and took it 25 feet to the beginning of the run and Y'd it into the newly city mandated cleanout port on an outside wall so that everytime we took a shower, some of those solids would be flushed on thru the system, aided by the flow from the laundry tube and washing machine. Haven't had to call the city and have them blow it out since, so the port they mandated I retrofit has never been used for the intended purpose Sometimes you have to be smarter than the average plumber employed by a subdivision builder. Most aren't even qualified to run a shovel! Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
