Hiker,
I was not calling you a moron, but the joker who repsonded to your post (use
Drylocak was his suggestion). What kind of news reader are you using where you
cannot tell who the reponse is directed at?

Subject: Underground Gutter Leader Question

Hello,
A couple of years ago I paid a landscape contractor money to install 2
drywall
that my gutter downspouts would discharge to. Recently I noticed that
one of
the gutter would not drain well during heavy rains, so I decided to
look at the
condidtion of the pipe that leads to the drywell, to make sure it was
still
pitched properly. To my total disbelief, when I dug the pipe out, it
did not
empty into a drywell. Instead, the end of the pipe was wrapped in a
landscape
fabric and the pipe discharged into the earth (not a bed pea gravel as
expected)
Is this a valid method ? I was alway under the impression that
underground
downspouts emptied into a drywell or to daylight at some lowpoint of
the
property.


Who's the moron Shrek?
