September 15, 2023: Daylighting the Storm Drain Part 1

 Back in December, a slotted-pipe storm drain was installed just outside the footings.  It drains to a low point at the corner of the building nearest the Angels View Way sidewalk.

Now Bud digs down to find and break open the storm drain.

A new T-connector replaces the 90-degree connector.

Then Bud digs a trench all the way to the edge of the sidewalk.

This requires some spadework down in the trench.

Next question: How to get the storm drain pipe under the sidewalk and out to the drainage ditch?

While the work goes on outside, Mario, Lewis and Jaime inside are building the steps from the lower level to the first floor.

And the electricians painstakingly wire the junction boxes.
