FOUND IT

Foundation Drain Tile Outlet

One of the differences between the Oakley Home 2.0 and Starter Home 2.0 project is the way foundation drainage is handled. Whereas the Starter Home 2.0 is reliant on a sump pump to discharge any water collecting in the drain tile around the foundation footer, the Oakley Home 2.0 takes advantage of the fall in grade from the front of the site to the back, discharging the water collecting in the drain tile around the foundation to 'daylight' in the rear yard. After a quick search of the area outside the walkout basement, I was able to find the drain tile outlet, which is pictured below.
