Are they going in the front yard? Timing seems odd, but I have a lot to learn. I had assumed soak wells would go in at time of earthworks or slab preparations. That's no DIY job! One is going in the front probably not far from where it's currently sitting, the other is going in the back near the alresco. Timing? Different builders do it at different times. Not sure if one way is better than another DIY? I think not. housebythewater Just in case they've ordered you one too many... http://www.pinterest.com/pin/536069161865401361/ In breaking news.
