Septic System





Today the septic system was completed. The pipe was laid down and insulated. A support pipe was also put around the 4 " pipe so driving over it will be safe. The inspection will be on Monday so the rest of the system can be filled over. Wink, myself and one of Ploof's men helped put in the sonic tubes for the support of the decking. Each hole was dug to 4 feet. All 11 of them. It took most of the day but it's now done. The cement will be done on Monday afternoon.

Retaining Wall




Ploof Excavating was building a retaining wall for the new home. This will allow us to walk out on a level surface from the basement and will also keep the dirt where it should be. As you can see it looks awsome and will be a strong wall. He is also working on the septic system. We now have a septic tank. Today he will be digging the hole to the leach field. This will have to be inspected before it can be covered.
