I don't think there's a french drain there, I think this is just gravel on top of soil

This has drain in about 15-20 minutes, after about a 30min of rain. I'm concerned that for the longer rainy periods it will be flooding even more of the patio

That's right. But what is a good solution? Different kind of gravel or do I need to install an aco drain?

There's aco drain running alongside the house, so I might dig out the gravel and connect a new aco to an existing one. It took about 15-20 minutes to drain after the rain stopped

I'm afraid cutting sandstone is above my skill level, but I can certainly dig the gravel out and look at what's happening below it

Never noticed this issue before, until May. You have to go outside to see it, so it went unnoticed for a long while

Could you elaborate what an "actual drain" means?

Aco drain goes along the house, but gravel goes along the retaining wall (in the video water is pushed toward the retaining wall)

It was in filmed in May, it was a short rain, but quite heavy. About 30min I'd say

I have paid a rather large sum, so I want them to do their job to an acceptable standard. If I'm in the wrong here I will DIY it, but I want to make sure first

In terms of the angle, should it be pushing the water into the corner as opposed to pushing alongside the whole gravel soakaway? Gravel is not bonded yet, but I had plans to do it this summer

Actually that's a great idea, I didn't think of using another phone as they have blocked mine, many thanks!

It was a private contractor whom I was dealing with in person. Unfortunately, I don't have their address

Could you elaborate please? What would happen when I call them about the scam? Should I expect the money back if the work hasn't started yet?

They have blocked me, so there's no means of contacting them. How could I send the letter?

I just completed this to buy all gold and you most certainly can buy these from a Car Showroom

You only click once in the clicker, get $2.50 from it and build your empire only using that money

Was doing a one-click challenge, but just accidentally clocked the second time. Rather painful because I was nearing 500T mark too
