Finishing the Septic Lines and Installing the Water Lines

Yesterday was much easier, especially for me because I stayed inside! George finished the job by noon so he was able to avoid the hottest part of the day. That's good because it got to 105. 


All totalled, 260 feet of PVC pipe was put into the trenches. He finished up just in time to watch the NASCAR race too. As soon as it was over, we were off to Lowe's for another 260 feet of PVC pipe--this time for the water lines.

YESTERDAY
He had the septic line on the necessary slope so he wanted to be sure to get some dirt underneath the pipe and secure it by putting dirt around it.

He watered, added dirt back, tamped, 


watered again, added dirt, tamped, etc. 


TODAY
George was able to get all of the 
water line in before going to work.

It was quicker because this pipe lays on top of the other pipe so it only needed to be connected and dropped into the trench.

Plus, the pipe was also smaller in diameter.

George hooked a hose to one end of the pipe and a faucet to the other end at the pavilion.  It was to test the water pressure which was great! 

I'm not exactly sure what comes next on 
this project but I have a feeling 
it's not cooler temperatures.
