    Live in franklinville, will be trying snake tomorrow after work, crossing fingers. If it is collapsed I will buy better stuff and rerouted everything and hopefully just cut the corrugated so I don't see and just leave it.

     

    I do have between the front and rear downspouts/corrugated pipe and pvc plastic cap that when I removed contacts to a pipe that's on a angle from front to back, no clue what this is.

    Yes all water that came out was muddy. I was even thinking about trying find a large enough plug, drill a slight hole in it to hit a air fitting, hook up compressor and shoot a crap load of air through. Smart or not so smart? Lol

    Yea hose stopped moving after 4-5' in. Water was coming out from top (where I was fishing hose through). Went to another corrugated pipe that's on front of house but same side, got about 5' of the hose through that and same thing came to a stop, and water was backing out from top as well.

    So today I grab my hose and a fitting that had a hole in the front and on sides that would spin with high pressure. Was able to clear both corrugated pipes about 4-5' and then couldn't go any farther with hose. No clue what it was hitting but it wouldn't budge.

     

    Looked on side of property saw no output, and the whole woods is filled of leaves so I'll have to rake a lot out to see. Only other spot I can think of is under the shed? I found a paper from old owners of a landscaping coming who did their flowers and all, was going to call and see if they have on record the file so maybe they'll know where the output is.

    Yea they for sure went cheap on the output of discharge, far as unit apparently it's really good, had water company come out to inspect and also service it and they told me a lot about it (come from city water no 0 about well and all).

     

    I am pretty handy, so when this weather gets better I'll be taking shop vac out and garden hose. I'll also investigate where the hell the output is to the drainage pipe. Could it be possibly the output be under ground?

    Only 2 years old. Apparently the old owners treated their last one like crap so they had no choice but to fully replace the whole thing. So lucky me I got a brand spanking new system basically.

    Yes have septic not sewer. The previous owners had the cleaning discharge go right by the gutter drainage piping which is near the doors to basement. No clue how they lived that way of flooding that whole area.

     

    I'll have to walk the property to find the outlet, I have a acre of land behind me (mine) that is all woods so maybe it's dumped out there because I have a next door neighbor so can't be dumped that way.

    House I just purchased has nice landscaping and where all the drain pipes are goes into those corrugated piping under the ground. Some of them were hooked up and some weren't so I decided to check it out. I noticed that some are caked with dirt on inside, which I am assuming not good at all.

    I have well water so I have a water system that discharges water out every 5 days or 900 gallons used. They had that discharging right by the Bilco doors. So between the corrugated pipe that is caked with dirt and this drainage in same exact spot it's causing issues with landscape and also water coming into basement.

    What is the best way to fix this? Can I some how clear the piping without digging all it up?

    My thought was to then put the water drainage into the corrugated piping.

    Awesome I get quotes for both types from some people. Drywall luckily someone in family does for living so he will do that for me, and painting I'll do.

     

    I want to plan everything out on what I was out in garage far as electrical. Might even have another panel put in because I need to add more outlets in basement for that lovely project lol

    I will be adding more electrical outlets to the garage and to the exterior as well. I will probably add some outlets to the walls that already have the drywall up.

     

    Garage is a 2 car garage, can't fit my lifted truck in it so it's a parking spot for the lovely lady. Plan to have my tool boxes and maybe a work area in garage. Basement will have the big boy safe and gun room :).

     

    I think as of right now I will not heat the garage but that may change in future.

     

    Going check out some spray foam installers to get quotes, anyone recommend anyone in the south jersey area?

    So house I just bought didn't drywall half the garage. Plan is to put some insulation up and drywall then paint it all white. I have a couple questions for those who may know the info.

     

    1. Should I use a certain insulation for the garage or all the same? (Dumb question)

     

    2. Should I put up a vapor shield after insulation?

     

    3. Is there suppose to be a certain type of drywall for garage?

    One more question, I could of sworn that I saw a thread awhile ago that stated when you do address change the PD will want your old license, that thread stated to don't give and say you lost it. Is this true to do? If it wasn't this forum it was another one then.

    I want to wire the house for cameras, need to come up with a plan for that.

     

    Also trying figure the whole internet and tv situation. Cable is run all around house but determining if I'll go the firestick (already have) plus antenna route and just do Internet or what.

    I felt the same way twenty years ago when we put up the 20% down (to avoid PMI), had banks going through our"private" financial history, signed reams of paperwork and entered into a construction loan and mortgage agreement.

    Seemed like so much money,such a huge commitment. But now it doesn't seem like that big of a deal. What the hell was I worried about?

    My only advice if you're buying new, get any of the major extras you might want. Any upgrade that would require a good bit of tearout of existing to do later, do it now. Even if you think it blows the budget, so much easier to do it now.

    Congrats

    Yea we put the 20% down so no PMI. It's funny I walked into the house today, first time walking in of actually owning it all other times were when we were looking at it. When I opened that door and walked in I just smiled because of the accomplishment and all the "holy shit goodbye money!" moments went away.
