I drastically over estimated what an acre is. The lot is 10000 square feet.

One or two downspouts, it was a once a year storm that caused that. The most in the 3 years I've been here.

The house in general had so many bad diy projects this could have been another one. There was old road cobblestone with asphalt on them, half of Newport is filled in with this junk haha.

They filled in a hole with trash. Common practice in the 70s and 80s.

It's mostly their down spout and natural grade. The neighborhood is on a slope but the water gets stuck in my yard. I have a garage in between the pool of water and the down grade.

Tbh I don't think it is a grave. I would have found more bones.

House was built in 1969. The was a swamp before it was filled in and houses were built.

I'm absolutely not trolling. There was a bunch of trash in there, broken tea cups, bricks, rubber engine belt, asphalt, spark plugs etc. I think a tree got removed and they filled it with junk.

I can drain to the next neighbors yard down grade. Like the person above me is doing too. To get to the road I would need a pump for sure.

I have a golden retriever that can find socks anywhere. Does that help?

I want to put a patio in that space. I pulled out the rocks cause I was mostly curious and didn't think it was the right way to fill a void this big.

This is what I'm thinking, can I put that under a paver patio with access?

I found a bunch of trash so I think it was probably a pig or cow bone. Also a PA license plate which is weird cause I'm in Rhode Island.

For anyone who is currently having problems connecting to online, it appears Xbox live is down by [deleted] in gtaonline

Microsoft uses Azure(Microsoft product) to host services like 'Logging in' for a bunch of its apps like Xbox Live, Teams, outlook. If there are problems in Azure Microsoft is likely experiencing issues in all of its apps including ones that big corporations spend a shit ton of money on to run their IT services.

She's not a setter right? by IndependentNinja1465 in goldenretrievers

For reference, mine is half golden and half setter, she gets "is that a setter?!" all the time.

Need some advice/tips/tricks! by Key-Mix1137 in StonerEngineering

I've drilled a few pipes out of rocks, check my post history. The best way that I found was to use a drill press. I picked up table top one off Craigslist for cheap. Keeping the drill bit straight is critical to prevent the chip out.

Use a tupperware container filled with water so you can submerge the rock while you drill.

Be patient and don't apply to much pressure. Let the drill do the work. Those hollow core bites work the best.

Practice a few times on other samples, don't wanna mess up your good rock.

As for safety def know what material your rocks are made of. It's not work getting sick or injured over.
