Woah! The septic tank has been a massive job. Row has spent a total of 10 days working on it and it's nearly finished.
It's taken about 35 hours on the digger, 240m of pipe and around 100 tonne of gravel = 10 truck loads, to get it to this stage. Tomorrow we hope to have it signed off by the council so we can check that job off the list!
One of the three trenches for the field drains
This reminded me of Boggis, Bunce and Bean from Fantastic MR FOX. Rowan has dug up a total area of about 250 square metres! He's just casually digging another trench.
Just working out some measurements ready for...
Drilling a total of 540 holes for the field drain pipes!
Early morning start today. We had a lot of gluing to do. Brian the drain man came to check on progress and give us a bit if a hand today :)
Gluing all the field drain pipes together.
Few bits of pipe going here and there
Fingers crossed it all works to plan when the toilet flushes for the first time....
Wow, what a huge job! Rowan looks totally in his element.
