the little dig

Day 1

Ugh. The dreaded day arrives. When we bought the house, the septic inspector fudged his report. We didn't know this until we had a back up this past Fall. In order to be compliant with state laws a whole new system has to be built.

Here goes the backyard!
 
Day 2 - Septic System Repair (Title 5)
     

Day 3 - Septic System/Leach Field

Tom says, "This could be an olympic sized swimming pool should Athens become untenable. But then we'd have to deal with the poop. Hey, what about the pond? It's probably better than some of Athens and the fish would grow really big. A possible market for North Korea interests?"
