Plan of Battle

Posted at 10:11 pm MDT to Miscellaneous

They say no battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

Looked at in daylight, my new septic system isn't laid out quite the way the engineer designed it. The contractor says the original design wouldn't quite work in the actual space (they may have been sloppy about measuring). He says that he cleared the actual layout with the engineer and the county, and the city of Louisville whose water main crosses my lot and makes things complicated.

They delivered at least three more huge truckloads of dirt today. There were already some big piles in the yard.

The installation is supposed to be inspected tomorrow, and if it passes they would be able to start pushing the dirt over the top of the holes and gravel bed. Except that the contractor had an accident in his workshop and ended up with a piece of metal in his eye and can't drive yet.

So things are going to be delayed a bit. At least the system is usable even while it is uncovered.
