This is the sand mound going in. Yes it is as large as it looks. After a perk and probe a state certified designer designs the sand mound and you build it to their specifications. Evidently the soil was not very porous so consequently the large mound. Here we are putting 10' of 2 B stone on top of 38" of lime dust. On top of the stone will go 10" of top soil. We were joking that when we are done it will be the 19th tee off spot. It looks just like the 12th tee in the background. All the stone in place and rough grading around the mound.
These are the two tanks that the sewage flows to after it leaves the house. The first tank is the settling tank and the second is the dosing tank. The liquids from the dosing tank get pumped up to the sand mound and are distributed around the sand mound through a series of pipes. The liquids then leaches slowly back into the ground.
The white pipe will be connected to the pump in the dosing tank,

This is the front of Timber Trail house. We are getting the site ready for a new deck and patio. There was once a large maple tree at the corner of the house which we removed and now we are removing the roots. We have waited almost a year for approval from DEP to start this project because we are within 50 feet of a stream that drains 100 acres or more. Front of Larch with some of the grading done and the front doors in. We have not had much time to work on the new house, we are still seeing progress.
Garage is filled in almost ready for concrete.
The back of the house rough graded and some of the casement windows in. Tyvek on and doors and windows properly prepped for installation.
