One thing I've discovered about this property is the water from the roof is not transported away from the house. There are only two gutters on the house and they just dump the water at the base of the downspout. I decided to try installing a drainage pipe from the corner of the patio to the back of the yard. The yard is void of grass, by design, and in it's place are stones. I had to dig through 18" of stones and dirt to get the pipe down far enough to pitch it towards the rear of the yard. It took a few days to complete, but it's in and working and just in time for Hurricane Irene. Bring it on Bitch!
