one line closes, another ...

gets filled with gravel. The septic inspector finally came out, and liked what he saw! woohoo! He didn't tell us to add more footage, like Rob feared he would. He didn't reject or fail it except to say one piece of pipe should be 2' long, and he wants to see each line with gravel over the pipes before we put the dirt back over. We ordered another load of gravel. So the far left line got covered because it was that new type of pipe that is wrapped in styrofoam peanuts and fabric and doesn't require gravel. That allowed Rob to reach the two outside lines with the backhoe, and hopefully the inspector will look at it today. Then Rob can fill them and drive on them to reach the last two lines. More detail than you care to know about our septic system, I know. This has been very consuming - Rob feels that we are being asked to over-build and jump through extra hoops that are outside the real authority of the health department. I just want it done already so Rob can focus on the finish work inside, and because I'm missing planting season with the yard not being ready. This weekend are the big plant sales locally.

Electric will be done today. I went to 3 places yesterday trying to find a breaker he needed. The fourth place had a generic that will work. But he's ready for inspection tomorrow. The AC guys are designing the vent for the tankless heater. It is a double-walled stainless steel vent that will have to be special ordered. That mostly leaves the plumbing to finish.
