The house under construction opposite is putting in a septic system. Had noted the tank sitting ready a few days ago. Today entertainment provided by giant drill. Can only estimate the size of the drill but perspective provided by seeing the man sitting inside the cab of the machine. Guessing - joint effort - extended height of drilling apparatus about sixty feet.
.
Then seven large cement pipes lowered into the hole, one on top of the other, each about five feet high
Drill itself maybe four feet across.
Large pile of sand removed from hole as drilling takes place.
Cement lid lowered on top of last pipe.
Final step will be placing septic tank on top of cement pipes.
Operator has the dream job of every small boy in the world - and possibly some not so young.
