Part 2; Septic install.
As you can see from the photo above- this is the leaching bed. What happens is this- PVC piping is hooked into the concrete pre-cast tank and run on top of the black beds which are made out of a geotech fabric and some plastic thing that looks like an egg crate. Inside the tank bacteria eats away at the waste and pees out a cleanish waste and that gray water is carried through the pipes on the leaching bed and is distributed into the ground, which again gets cleaned through the leaching bed system.
Chappy is putting the bed to sleep with a sheet of fabric over the top of the leaching beds.
Then he buries it with another foot of sand.
The excavation for the addition. Ba BYE brick steps. Oh and I forgot to tell you, when they wrecked the front steps to put the connection into the tank- it was a slab of concrete that was reinforced with what looked like an old spring bed frame. The kind that my grandma had on the porch and was super squeaky.
That guy with the shovel just realized there was a huge tree stump/root ball and he is trying to uncover the edges of it....hee hee hee! And that other guy is Chappy the excavator operator and he is not laughing.
The front now has a layer of loam on top of where the septic was installed. It will be great if grass grows.
Large tree stump/root ball. This one came up easy, about 2 hours? The driveway got a bit smaller as the pressure from the machine cracked the driveway further back, yikes.
There it is. In it's glory.
That is the 2nd root. It wasn't as easy, and there were some not so nice words expressed about it.
