I can identify with your flooding problem. Our whole piece of property is on a low rise . Our houses sit on the top basically so the property drains to the back on the south end, that 's where all our out buildings....saw mill, DH's new shop, the little barn and the chicken house and yard all sit. The north side of the property drains mostly to the road and some into the folk's yard. But the worst of it runs down to our buildings. When we tore down the old storage building that had stood where DH's new shop is there is about a foot of difference in the soil level where the base of the old shed sat. That's soil that has been slowly carried down the property over ten years. No wonder I have roots on the surface al over the front in the dog's yard...all the dirt is down by our buildings.
