What's going down is land owner is putting in a second driveway below the existing asphalt drive .
My next challenge is installing a vertical drain in to the 36 " culvert . Need to do that now as have a pretty good idea where the road will be .
Thinking I want an 18 to 20 inch drop in to the 36 inch culvert to handle the ditch water . So far pipe supply company wants $ 1,200.00 for the fitting .
I'm thinking of just fabricating a saddle mount out of 3/ 16 steel plate with a weld in pipe fitting and bolt it to the plastic 36 " culvert .
One other thing I do before back fill is drive down some steel fence posts on angle & chain them together to help keep the pipe in place . Probably not needed but I do it anyway .
