YAY, YAY, YAY!
For those of you following along, you know we’ve been having issues finding a spot to put our leach field. And in the county we are building in, no leach field = no building permit.
We’ve rented large pieces of equipment, dug numerous holes, and spent several thousand dollars trying to figure this out. With no luck.
Until today!
We dug another test hole for our leach field today. (And by “we” I mean we paid for it and set it up, but my mom was our representative since we are sitting in Oregon right now.) This time in the fill dirt of our house pad. We didn’t even know that was a possibility till the engineer told us.
Look at that beautiful, easy to dig in dirt!
The backhoe got down to 13 feet no problem and the engineer thinks there will not be an issue putting the leach field in that location.
Praise God!
Now, there are still some issues to work out making sure that we can put the length of field in in the area we have available.
But for now, I’m praising God that we have even gotten this far.
‘Cause it’s one step further than we’ve ever gotten before.

Yes yes! Thank God! I am certain things are going to go much more smoothly for you guys from now on. After all, it couldn’t have been much worse, considering you wouldn’t have been able to build at all without a good perk test! Congrats. BTW – can I borrow your engineer? Ours doesn’t seem to be as competent as yours!

Thanks, Vickie! And sure, you can use him. Not sure how much he would charge to come to your place though. 😉
