Big week! Well pump installed and water line trenched to house, septic system installed, plumbing nearly complete, and electrical going strong as well. Whew!
Encore Wire is a customer of my company, so I was happy to see that the electricians were using their product.
Exhaust fan in master shower.
Nice shiny new tub in guest bathroom; it's deep!
Trenching for the water line to the home.
A couple of the dudes who were digging the (enormous) hole for the 1,500 gallon septic tank had to ride the bucket in & out.
And there's the tank that will hold all of our...err, waste. lulz
Thing is huge.
We hope to never see this big boy again.
Starting to dig the 4 x 125 ft septic drain trenches.
Into the trenches, which are about 3.5 feet deep, are placed these half-cylinder widgets that facilitate dispersion and drainage of the septic liquid.
That's the range hood vent pipe, and the boys framed a soffit to conceal it (this portion of the run is in the garage).
Two more of the septic lines that run under the back yard.
Big boy!
Framers built up the outdoor shower base as well. All pressure treated (lots of beefy support underneath this slab of plywood), which will then be heavily waterproofed with RedGard, followed by a substantial mortar base with proper pitch to drain, then river pebble tile on top.
More septic highlights.
Told you they are long runs!
Trench for water line from well pump. The wellhead and pump control box are out there under the fake boulder-looking thing.
Here's the topside hardware associated with the well pump. The pump (a 1HP Grundfos SQE) was placed about 300 ft down, and the controller (Grundfos CU301) and other system components are at the well head. It's a damn slick setup; we will be able to run three showers at once, and flush a couple of toilets, and heck why not the dishwasher too, without any water pressure loss. Not that we'd do all that, mind you, but...we could! :-)

Oh hey, now there's a can in the master shower, to keep the exhaust fan company!
The same back yard, after the septic lines and tank were backfilled and graded. Like nothing ever happened!
