French Drains

As you are all aware, we installed the playground equipment over the winter break.  What you may not realize is that we also installed a "french drain" to help ensure that we don't have a lake, rather than a playground,  on wet days.  When I looked at the french drain after it was finished I was certain that it was not slopped enough and it wasn't going to work (why I thought I knew more than the experts who built it is a mystery)!  I am happy to report, that the experts knew what they were doing and it worked like a charm!  Once again, making me grateful to work with such competent smart people! You would not believe the amount of water coming off the roof!
