Ok,

I finally finished the PVC motor well drain today. I have been putting it off for a week. Only took about 30 minutes and I found out that the old drain was copper and was leaking:o. O-rings had dry rotted, caulk was gone and the tube was compromised.

Luckily the wood was still pretty dry:).

Here are some pics of preping the PVC drains. This was a very tight fit and turned out well. I had to tap the PVC in with a hammer to make the marks for cutting. I could have made it look better. But, I was in a hurry.

Still turned out real nice:D.
