We are the pest capital of the street. Let s see : hornets ( 2 X ), brown ants, black ants < multiple eradications and mice. The pest control guy, Carlo says that b/c of the ravine in our backyard we are destination #1 for the critters.
Today, was solve drainage problems. Like usual, some success and some not so success. For the west downspout, the big ' O ' tube goes under the interlock and down the lawn. It was plugged up and the water came gushing out of the pipe in the ground next to the house wall < not good > and drains down to the foundation.
I found a ' Y ' connector - some genius put in, why ? Dunno - that will allow a vent to let the water bubble out onto the lawn < mostly >. Good.
There is a blockage down the lawn but I couldn't find the ' O ' tube to clear the blockage. Make do w/ the release vent.
The other side, needed a disconnect to stop water undercutting the interlock on the boulevard. Not great but a minor solve
