May 9th

Vic dumped a load of rock into the trench, then I put in the overflow pipe from the downspout to the drain that we already have (so hopefully if it gets too full, it'll dump the excess water into the drain).  We put down the landscape cloth to (hopefully) stop it filling up with dirt, and covered in with dirt.  I've stamped it down, and we need to add more dirt, but it's pretty close to finished - well, other than having 3" pipe sticking out about 2' - I'll cut that to length and put a cover on it when we've finished.
