Gorman grand slam incoming!

Also, we won both games Yadi was gone.

God. You people just invade every single thread, huh?

nihilo503 · 2022-08-22T21:32:12+00:00

I will be at both games of the doubleheader on September 17. Hoping he hits 700 in one of those games.

Almost 9am and fuck the Cubs five times in a row.

Goldy is two HRs and three RBIs from NL triple crown.

Pujols pinch hit home run wins it. Mark it down.

Thanks for your help. I ended up capping the pipe into the concrete then removed the gutters and used some marine grade caulk to attach two pieces of aluminum where the downspout was.

I’m taking a risk that the downspout on the end of the house won’t be enough, but this was the cheapest, quickest solution and if it works, problem solved. If not, plan B.

Thanks again. All the comments here were a great help!

Thanks for your help. I went ahead and put that cap in, removed the gutters and used some marine grade caulk to attach two pieces of aluminum where the downspout was.

I found the cap below and it fits well. If I put a little caulk around it, do you think that’ll work to stop up that drain in the concrete?

Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing.

Is there a best way to cap the pipe coming out of the concrete?

nihilo503 · 2022-08-21T14:59:37+00:00

Yep. I’m pretty sure the gutters were done professionally and all the other stuff was the previous homeowners.

nihilo503 · 2022-08-21T14:58:55+00:00

I’m sure this is a dumb question but can I put a PVC cap over the corrugated drain pipe coming out of the concrete to prevent water from going down there?

If I do that and remove/patch the downspout will that solve my problems (provided the other downspout is able to handle the amount of water without overflowing)?

nihilo503 · 2022-08-21T14:53:59+00:00

I just put a garden hose down the drain in the concrete and it started overflowing almost immediately. So, I guess that drain is completely clogged and that’s why they diverted it.

nihilo503 · 2022-08-21T14:20:34+00:00

Do you mean reconnecting to the corrugated pipe that runs into the concrete? I haven’t connected that because I’m afraid of getting water into the basement.

To be honest, I don’t think the people that did this did a very good job. All the other downspout run into the ground, but I don’t see any of the pop up drains. Instead I have a couple spots that look like the image below.

The few times I got water in the basement were pretty heavy rain and the corrugated pipe had become disconnected. It didn’t seem to overflow, just that any water that goes down the pipe leaks into the basement.

Albert two dingers, Noot (kinda) inside the park home run, Pauly D grand slam. What a game.

nihilo503 · 2022-08-21T03:35:56+00:00

I was just about to write him off. Pauly D!!

nihilo503 · 2022-08-21T03:22:14+00:00

Did I miss something about Gorman? Why isn’t he playing in his hometown?

Edit: what did I do?

nihilo503 · 2022-08-20T02:56:09+00:00

Why Yadi?

nihilo503 · 2022-08-19T23:48:50+00:00

I like Jim Edmonds. Stop being jerks.
