Phatboy,the problem your going to have with your siphon is sucking in air from the discharge end with that big a pipe.What you'll want to do is turn the end of the discharge up so the air cant get in.Other than that,barring any leaks I dont see why it wouldnt work.Please excuse my manners,Ahem,Welcome to the forum.Thanks for the pics.If all else fails,and you get really frustrated,theres always dynamite. \:o Just kidding.Ill bet you have that place looking like a jewel in no time at all.
