    Looks amazing … but after having worked in renovations and construction for several years … my first thought was in imagining how terrible its going to be when something eventually goes wrong. And when water is involved, eventually something does go wrong.

        It’s all fun and games until you have to be the one figuring out how to excavate, move, reposition and renew the drainage tile and water diversion system.

        I redid my weeping tile on my house by myself five years ago … my back still hurts. If I had to do it again, I’d ask another contractor to just bury me alongside the tile.
