Excavation

The excavation of the Hardin Access Pipeline is underway! Cooper Plumbing has begun digging, first excavating dirt around the well and the septic system using a backhoe and a Bobcat. They have cut a pretty large six-foot deep canyon through the hill, but were able to minimize damage to the trees en route to the septic tank.

The septic tank has been exposed:

Ultimately, the digging will make its way to the back of the guest house, where it will go under the foundation and allow pipes to come up through the garage floor.

I’ve marked out where the wall between the bathroom and the utility room. The water into the guest house will go into the utility room. There will be drains in the bathroom for a shower and a toilet, and a floor drain in the utility room below the water heater and water softener.
