The drainpipes are in place
They were wrapped with landscape fabric to keep them from clogging up with mud, then the trench was filled with crushed stone. We'll top this ugly stone with some decorative pea gravel for aesthetics.
We ended up not achieving the 4" of clearance to the stone - the stone runs almost up to the top of the foundation. I suppose we could have had the trenches dug deeper, but this whole thing was already costing a fortune. I think it will be fine - the stone should keep the water and termites away from the rim joists. I hope....
