Family affair

Debbie, her dad, and young son Will helped remove shoring from the wall pour. We are all feeling the time constraints.

The septic drain field install only encountered one difficult rock. Bigger then a VW Bug. Heavier then a Hummer. We just dug it a bigger hole out of the way and rolled it with the aid of gravity.

The science of drain fields is way beyond the ol’ perc test. In this pressurized dose system, we actually measure the height of the liquid squirt before rotating the pipes to spray into the rocks. Wow.

I ordered a 1,000 gallon propane tank. What was I thinking? 16 feet long, but all underground.

Trying to find some more workers to speed things up. Cross your fingers for us.
