Inspectors

Just passed the plumbing rough-in inspection on Friday, and passed the septic system last week, too! Batting 1000 so far on inspections. I guess I hired the right guys...

Plumbing (Out of) My Depth(s)...

Another burst of activity!
Oh My God! Running (cold) water - in the house!
And it drains out, too.
And dig that science homeroom style faucet...

Water and vent pipes fill the wall between the bathroom and the pantry.

Vent pipes... more to come...
If these windows opened, we'd have to move the pipes. But they don't.

The tub/shower.

1,000 gallon septic tank, ready to install.

Tank in (beneath green covers), and distribution field going in.

Only the tank covers visible now.



Two big loads of gravel, for the distribution field, and the driveway,
and the French Drain on the north side of the house.

The distribution field now invisible!

Gravel over and gravel under 4" leaky pipe.

French Drain,
carrying water from the north side, away from the house.
