• Help Support Hardline Crawlers :

The new "Crashfab"

So with having it dirt thru the winter I was able to see what the rain did and how.

So I found over by the outhouse water runs off the hill and collects badly after a hard rain and there is a big hump in the center that forces water towards the shop so one more reworking of the area was needed and some sort of drain system is needed.

Here is the start of the drainage. I originally planned on just doing this ditch for the water to collect but after some thought and the fact I still have drainage to do in front of the other shop and the downspout off the new shop I revised my plan.

So part A.

Luckily I took pics and was able to easily found where the end of the drain pipe is that I did last year. Ditch dug from my new shop downspout to the drain.

Part B will be a little tougher..

It took a couple days and I wish I was better at grading a level surface--but it is pretty close.

Drainage I used 1" clean chip and 1-2 man rock to protect the gutter drain since the material is about 1-2" below the rock surface.

But pretty stroked that its really looking like something now and no more dirt.:awesomework:
