WooHoo!!! Hurrah!



At 7 AM the excavators arrived. Yes, it was snowing! They dug out the septic tank. Then they dug another big hole about 4' deep to find the leach tank. They told me old systems almost never pass... but once they saw it.. they seemed impressed. The inspector came and meaured and made notes and checked everything out...even verifying, by eye, that I really do NOT have a garbage disposal (a big no no with a septic system). The septic pump guy came and cleaned everything out.

After all was said and done... IT PASSED!! The town still has to accept the report for it to be official..but the celebration on our end has begun.

The fire pit needs to be put back together and the lawn will need some re-seeding...but...that's small potatoes compared to the total mess we would have had if we needed a new system!

BIG DIG: done !!
NEXT: the public hearing for our well drilling, required due to stream on property
WHEN: Thursday 8PM.
