Septic Oh My!

Replacing a 4 line septic system with a larger 15-line drainage system is no joke. It took the workers 3 days to cut down trees, grind them up using the Intimidator, and now an additional 4 days to dig the trenches, lay the piping, and put in the new septic tank, distribution box and the additional pump that we need to make sure the system never fails. 

Our soil testing showed four different types of soil and I'm no expert on this, but this is why we needed such a widespread system. Our backyard is now almost the size of a football field...which will be great when it's graded and we have grass! Well...great for little boys who want to play, not necessarily for a dad who has to cut it all...riding mower or not.

The next stage will be to cut off our deck and "office" in order to fill in the current septic tank and attach the new lines to the main lines. Hopefully that will happen next week if not sooner.
