I was going to saw cut the channel last night but we got into a fight about it last night. It was kind of late after we got back from cub scouts and the boy's bedroom is right above it.
Its a small ranch house anyways, 24x36.

I guess they call them that because the French invented the sewer system and drainage designs!
