Training Your Water...

Another enjoyable post, i certainly enjoy reading your blogs, they are always informative and entertaining.

Very clever post, and so true. In our area Gravity plumbing is key to a second winter ski getaway.

Don is big on making sure that the water on our place goes where it's supposed to go.  To my amazement even.  When we take on a piece of property, he'll study the way that water travels when it rains.. and does not want any washing out... etc.  He wants it to go where it's supposed. 

Sometimes builders miss the point, don't they? 

I've seen some strange things. 

Water can cause so much damage if it's not planned.

Now I like the cajoling method but I don't think it's going to work.. :)

Good eveing Michael,

Sometimes Builders are on another planet when it comes to diverting water..you are right..with just a little forward thinking they could save a whole lot of anguish for a home owner! Great post Michael.

so true!!!  that water looks gross, the mosquitoes here would love it!!! 

Pretty hilarious - but you sure make a good point!  Water getting where it's not supposed to (naughty water!) seems to cause a huge proportion of house problems.

Michael - It's so hard to teach these contractors. How do you say gravity in Spanish?

This post is right on.  Just remember that water does downhill!  So simple yet so neglected.

okay michael, so builders need to know how to have training pants for a house i suppose....

It would be nice if contractors would actually check behind their subs and make sure the job gets done right.
