He said it's going to take about 5 days, and $5500 bid.

Several pipes, longest a 6" that runs about 50' the entire length from back yard to front.

Here's my latest plan to discuss with the landscaper, any ideas appreciated by both of us.

Dig a trench from the left rear of the house around under the deck on the outside of the steps. (or go...

Yes very true, as I understand it same rule here, you aren't supposed to have your water drain into others property. I called the water company and they came out and looked at the drain. They said...

I appreciate all the advice. It's unwanted irrigation...LOL, ok, seriously I couldn't find a better place to ask this question.
Here's a good pick of the back yard, the water is coming off the...

An excellent landscaper came out today, he walked every inch, looked in the collector in the back yard, jumped in my window well, talked with me for about an hour. Will write up a bid this weekend,...

That explains a lot thanks. My understanding is the collection pipes under my house that lead to the sump will eventually clog with silt and debris, so what you are saying makes sense to have this...

Great points, thank you! Would a plumber have a camera to do this?
Is there a special high pressure hose, who does this kind of work?

I believe this is the most likely problem and solution,...

jad,

Glad I came back here again, thought my 'plumbing' issue was resolved, but it isn't completely. My drain pipe sticking up is about 2" too high, how best to cut it back? I thought the...

jad,

Thanks for all the feedback, I'll try to post my progress tomorrow (I guess I could be posting to my original thread on the johnbridge site?).

I bleached everyplace I saw any dark wood,...

Thanks for the info and encouragement. I'm taking my shower renovation slow (biggest project of my life - not really a DYI'er).

I read up and decided to go with Schluter from the JohnBridge site,...

cwhyu2,

That simple bit of advice you just gave me worked. It must seem so obvious, but my inexperience... I could only find videos on this (very few) and they all showed hacksawing the PVC...

Greetings, this is my first ever post here.

I am replacing my upstairs master shower (36"x36"). I've removed the walls, cleaned the mold (original issue- green board failed), and replaced the...
