Still moving along

The septic tank was set today. It is a three compartment tank that is about 8 feet wide x 18 long x 10 deep and the top is about 4 feet underground. Air is pumped into the second tank to promote and feed the bacteria. The third tank has a basket of chlorine tablets to treat the water that is left and then there is a pump that goes to sprinkler heads that are in the wooded area behind the house that comes on whenever the water level gets high enough. That was probably more than you wanted to know about our septic system, but there you go.

 

The stairs and railing are completed and they look great. We also had the Brazilian cherry solid wood floors installed in the dinning/living room and study.

 

All of the bathroom tile is in also including the radiant heat floor in the master bath.

 

I created a new location for some of the pictures also at: http://family.webshots.com/album/561207017OFYisn?vhost=family if you want to take a look at the history of building the house so far.

 

It looks like we will move in near the beginning of June or sometime in June.

 

Cheers, Steve
