Grading continues to make really good progress - they are now estimating less than a week to finish the site work so that the retaining walls and foundation work can begin. When we stopped by the lot yesterday they were working with 3 people: one digging into the soil and mixing up wet soil with drier top soil, one bulldozing the soil down on the bench to keep building it and the last person running the large compaction machine to compact the soil. They have been getting good compaction values so the house should stay in place :-)
Today they also installed the septic tank system. We really like where they have placed the tanks on the lot - it's over to a side and completely out of sight from the house and deck.
The hole for the septic tanks.
Both septic tanks lifted in place. The large one weighs 16,000 pounds (or 8 tons). They are both made of concrete and super sturdy.
