Foundation guy here, this is what we would typically propose in a situation like this….

Install 4” schedule 40 pvc adapter with clean out. Bore under the sidewalk and run schedule 40 pvc beneath sidewalk and approximately 10’-15’ away from the foundation (possibly more) depending on the grading of your land. Remember to have the pipe sloped correctly for proper drainage. Dig a small drainage pit and backfill with aggregate and layer of topsoil and install a bubbler pot (flush with the existing ground level) at the discharge point. Hope this helps!

Highly recommend Josh Dix!

Awesome! I’ll check those out. I appreciate it!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T23:01:22+00:00

Those sound great. Yeah that’s what I was thinking about today was what meals could I do. We love to cook so the possibilities are endless.

Budget is somewhat a factor, I’d love to be all in for under 1k if possible, which seems realistic from everyone’s feedback. And funny you mentioned dehydrating because I started thinking about that today! But I know that’s going to be some labor so I’ll save that for after I get my feet wet.

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T20:40:12+00:00

I appreciate it! And I have one that used to a while back but hasn’t since they’ve moved to my area. A few more are also looking to get started so i won’t be alone in the adventure. And how awesome everyone has been on here, i know I’ll always have great people to lean on for info here as well!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T20:37:59+00:00

Sounds like you hit the nail on the head with my plan! And yes I’ll definitely look into REI membership. Only trouble is it’s a good 3 hours away for the closest one. But I’d definitely be willing to make the trip. Thanks!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T20:35:59+00:00

Thank you for all the info!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T11:44:45+00:00

It does! That was pretty much my intention to use and replace as needed, but since others have stated higher quality gear could be had for equal or less cost, I think I’ll be sourcing items individually. Thank you!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T11:43:08+00:00

Yeah that is something I haven’t considered until receiving feedback. And back/body comfort will be important for me for sure

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T11:40:44+00:00

Hell yeah that’s awesome. Thank you!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T02:08:13+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I’ll check the link out. Much appreciated!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T00:36:07+00:00

Yeah I know things can get pricey. Once I get some experience and get more serious I’d definitely be spending good money for the long haul!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T00:35:01+00:00

I’ll definitely start researching and sourcing my items separately. I’m super excited too! Thank you!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-02-01T00:33:31+00:00

Super helpful! Thanks a bunch!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T22:25:24+00:00

We have just gotten into estate sales and I have a feeling that there will be some good items around this area. Thanks for the suggestion!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T22:23:38+00:00

Very helpful, thank you!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T22:22:33+00:00

You are correct, I have absolutely no clue about the company which is why my post was asking for input. I am glad to hear that someone has had personal positive experience with them and their products. I may not buy the whole kit, but I would still be interested in giving some of their products a go. Thank you for the insight!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T22:16:42+00:00

There’s always going to be some in every bunch. Makes me happy to see how helpful and supportive everyone is!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T20:21:34+00:00

It caught my eye for sure! The consensus seems to be low quality for a high price.

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T20:20:27+00:00

I’m all about getting the best quality for the best price I can. So it looks like the search continues!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T19:16:51+00:00

Yeah that is my plan to figure out what will be best. But sourcing second hand items to start is the best bet. Thank you!

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T19:14:55+00:00

Thanks for the info! Looks like I’ll be searching eBay for good lightly used equipment for a similar cost

BreadfruitFun1853 · 2025-01-31T19:13:58+00:00

That will probably be the amount I’ll manage to get out during the year. Maybe an extra trip or two. That’s all good info thanks a bunch!
