Duck Work helping me install and test a French Drain.

It was a very hot day in Moore Oklahoma. We had finished installing a French Drain.  It ran along a stockade fence in the front yard. It turned North running under the fence into the back yard.  It ran to a pop-up emitter in the corner of the backyard.

Oklahoma Drainage runs many tests during the installation of a French Drain. The last one we do is simply putting a running garden hose at the beginning of the French Drain.  This demonstrates to the customer water flowing in the French Drain and Leaving the exit pop-up emitter.

We started the test.  Immediately a mother duck and her many babies appeared from under a nearby bush in the neighbor’s flowerbed.   They went directly to the running hose.  The party was on!

I may need to put them on the payroll.
