Septic Systems

I never would have thought that putting in a septic system could be so durn hard.  Evidently when you've had week after week of torrential rains, and the water table is only 2" below the surface, putting in one of these babies is a chore - let alone two of them. 

Yeap - you heard me right. We had to have two tanks to pass inspection. It's a lift system technically, but waste goes into tank number one, then tank one overflows into tank two, which is then pumped back up to the drain pipes in the new "built up" field in the yard. I'm glad I have a lot of back yard, otherwise, this could have been a BIG mess!

BUT  - Yesterday it passed inspection!  So YIP-EEE! On to something bigger and better.... (and hopefully a lot easier!)
