Septic Day Two

I know this is long but I found the process interesting and thought you might like to see the progress as they worked.

Notice the trench is under the rainwater pipe and the pile is beginning to build.

Blake has switched to the trench that needs to be dug for the grey water to exit to the side and be collected in some sort of pool yet to be built.

Blake was an absolute artist with this chisel.  He cracked the solid rocks and never put a scratch on the pipes or lost any water.

Oscar had to get down in the trench at time to remove the cracked rocks.

This shows the cleanouts to be placed on the black and gray water lines.  There are other safeguards to be placed on both lines.

Blake had to work on the solid rock on the bottom of the pit with the chisel

This is a good picture of the gray water trench.  There were a lot of rocks to be removed from this area as well.  The other guy is my back splash tiler, Eddy, taking a break.

Still breaking the rock shelf up.

Finally to the level they need to be.  The pink paint marks the bottom but a couple of yards of sand will be placed under the tank.  You can see the chisel marks on the solid rock.

Rainwater pipes still intact.

Look at the size of those rocks.  I think they would make a great base for potential dam at the back of the property. Now Blake can set the tank and begin the work on the field.
