Jack--I put a trench drain in front of my garage a few years ago. My driveway is almost level, but when we get a good rain, it will work it's way into the garage which is very annoying. I ended up cutting and busting out about 12" of the driveway and laying in a trench drain. I covered the top with duck tape, added some rebar, mixed the cement in a Harbor Freight mixer and filled it up. The front, back and sides slope toward the drain and after it was all smoothed out, I removed the tape. It dumps into a sump well on one end which is pumped out to the alley. I'll try to find the link where I bought it....it was the best bang for the buck from what I could find.

I run the compactor over it, load up a second layer of screenings and the belt flies to shreds. Takes 30 mins to get someone on the phone at Home Derpo and he says I cant pick up a belt I have to bring the whole unit in so he can fix it.

wtf

So I have to unload the trailer to get the thing back on there and drive all the way back down there.
