Here's some pictures that cover the recent progress.
Finally getting close to the end.
Stacking blocks.
And it's gone.
All the reclaimed ballast rock that was behind the wall. I didn't think there would be this much when I started piling it here. Kinda buried that poor tree. The mess in front of the pile is the filled in trench. Lots of cleanup to do now.
Digging the trench for the new electrical feed to the house. Those two white pipes running across the trench are the septic lines we dug through. It's probably better that we found this now, the lines and D-box were pretty choked with tree roots. Not a fun job, though.
The new conduit is in the trench. Due to the length of the run and the number of turns, there will be a "pedestal" here to make pulling the wires easier.
A big stump. This will be on my burn-pile for a while. Those things take forever to burn up.
Our camper refuge to help us get through the septic problem. Now that the tank has been pumped, we'll continue to use the camper for showers and such. We can use the toilets in the house sparingly for quite a while without having to worry about filling up the septic tank. Everyone who should know says it's 1000 gallon tank.
Gotta figure out where to put the new field lines and D-box now. Somebody from the county is supposed to come out and do perk tests. I don't expect any issues there (famous last words) as this hillside seems to have excellent drainage.
:):)
