Drainage is working!

For the first time, we have had consistent, measurable rainfall at our new house.  We have received approximately 1 3/4 inches of rain in the past 7 days.  The drainage system Paul designed seems to be doing its job.

The water is following the drain tile and staying away from the house.

It's getting all the way down the driveway.

And it's staying out of the basement!

We will call this a victory for now.  The next test will be a heavy storm, with multiple inches in one day.
