THE SEPTIC SYSTEM IS HOOKED UP!

More progress! We made it!

A lot of things in life seem to take time.... especially in my life right now. Slowly but surely, we are making progress, and today was a big one!

NOW WE CAN GO TO THE BATHROOM!

The actual septic tank and leach field have been in and ready for a while, but it wasn't until today that we finally made the connection. Some neighbors who are into various parts of the construction and home building business were available, so we got to work.

As usual, having all sorts of heavy equipment available sure did help. I seriously can't imagine doing this all by hand, although I would if I had to. Thankfully, I don't have to!

It was another bunch of things I'd never done before, but I was eager to learn, help out, and be available whenever possible. If I ever encounter a project like this again, whether my own or someone else's, now I'll have experience and be even more beneficial!

Part way through the project we switched equipment, and then finished by hand. It looks like I'm getting muscles in places I was always suppose to have them, LOL!

Eventually the pipes reached the tanks, and the final connection was made. I'm blessed to have handy, experienced friends available for projects like this, and it was well worth the wait.

Tomorrow, along with a lot of other things, I'll have to fill in the hole and restore some order to the area. After that, we'll be all set to move in... almost! Soon enough anyways, and we are still excited!
