Drainage, Part 2

We dug out a drainage channel in front of the storage unit and connected it to the pipe we hooked up last week.  This one was a lot harder because we had to make it deeper so it would lay in front of the cement footing and there were all these GIGANTIC rocks in the way.

But it works real well, tested by a HUGE storm that raced through the Mid-Atlantic two days ago.  All the excess water settled away from the house at the exit of the drain pipe!  Our house was essentially unaffected by the event, but some of our friends weren't so lucky and were out of power for a 100 degree weekend.  No huge catastrophes or injuries for anyone I know, thankfully.
