Day 4 -- Surprise, Surprise!

So today was a bit stressful.......it started off with John and Greg (the excavator)coming to assess the situation more. They cleaned up the dirt around the septic and tried to see actually how big the hole was. What they found instead was a cover over the hole that was made out of steel, wood and concrete...8 inches thick! Apparently not all covers are made this way, usually a machine can lift them right up or break them apart....BUT not ours (surprise, surprise!). Ours is too heavy, too large, and in an awkward spot to move.....half in the new addition and half out of it (still underground). A call to the mason and a few more calls to Dan left many unanswered questions and everyone unsure of what will happen next. So we wait until tomorrow at 10am when Dan comes. In the meantime they got some more siding down and cleaned up the area around the hole, then called it a day (early).

The septic hole.....




And one more of what my yard looks like now.....after 4 days!
