Foundation Drain

I never want to shovel gravel again in my life.
Today we as a family put in the foundation drain.  Since we have piles of dirt around the perimeter of the house, there was no way to get a tractor around the house to dump gravel.  This meant, we shoveled 5 gallon buckets of gravel...and dumped them on the 4" foundation drain pipe.

Based on my calculations we shoveled 300 buckets full.
Which is 15,000 pounds.
Which is about 2/3 of a dump truck full.
Scott carried ev ery single bucket.

It took us 6 full hours.  It was so much work.  So so so much work.  We are pooped.
