Burying the Green Monster

This morning the new fiberglass septic tank was lowered into a deep hole.  Fortunately it is all sand, so it was not difficult digging.  Here they are adjusting the tank to be sure it is level. 

After getting it in place, and the soil/sand was packed around it, they attached the line from the house to the first of three tanks.  Soon after they asked me to flush a toilet with toilet paper a couple of times.  They wanted to be sure the line was open.   It was.  Then the electricians put in all the electrical components. 

I stayed with the crew as they re-positioned the garden shed, and helped with regrading the soil.  We were almost done when the backhoe operator caught the electrical and cable wires and pulled them off the side of the house! Thankfully, no broken wires.  The guys working inside didn't know it had happened.

We left them waiting for the power company and drove back up to DC.  We wanted to arrive well before the curfew.  The electrical inspector needs to check the wiring, but that should complete all the major work on the house and allow the final inspection to be done.
