| | locally i would shop sears or agway or a well drill supply place for a stand sump pump that would get up a couple feet but it it might call for a two inch or better out tube, if that would work. That stuff is waterproof but you would still be setting it on bricks and hidding them to get what y'r going for. Don't let it suck gravel, either. |
