Bobcat (backhoe) used to do part of trenching of septic.

Trenching of line from well to house (north side of house). Waiting to be graded.

Start of septic line that runs 500 feet to the back (7 feet below ground) to just beyond the far trees. Four holes were dug and the line was bored from hole to hole: one at house (shown), one half-way to back trees, one just on this side of the back trees, and the last hole just on the other side of the back trees. The septic holding tank (to be placed on Monday) will be just in front of the foremost tree.

A look from the west (back) of the property towards the house. The second septic hole is the dark dirt in the middle of the picture.

The third hole dug for the septic line (just inside the west trees).

The ejector part of the septic line (just outside the west trees - perhaps 25 to 30 feet).

This is at the southwest corner of the tree-line around the front part of the acreage. We had been able to walk through here before this - with a bit of difficulty. The backhoe used this route to get beyond the tree line. By doing so he widened the route very nicely. This will prove very useful in the future for moving much-needed grading soil from the "back" to the "front".

This is just inside the southwest corner. This grass has not yet been cut this year - and only once or twice last year. That is Robert 'hiding'. The path is what was made by the backhoe.

The 'front' garden - more weeding; peas are as tall as Robert.

Back garden - more weeding is needed! Stakes put in for peas.

Potatoe garden.

The pool is now in an air-conditioned sunroom!
