Maybe water?

So I found out when I got to work that the guy that was supposed to install the pressure tank was already up there, and he was locked out.  Good communication there guys.  I didn't know until they told me he was already there when he was going to show up.  Other than that snafu though, it looks like I might have water now, though I am confirming that with the guy I have been working with. 

The new pressure tank.  Not sure why they decided to put it on cinder blocks, hopefully they didn't wreck the flooring.


It looks like I won't have enough space for the washing machine.  Ugh.  This means that I will have to put the washer in front of the window.  I might try to get the water heater installed in this space then, that way when I make a shelf to put the dryer on, I can just make the shelf go all the way across and have some storage, since I will have to keep the shelves in the wall fairly shallow if the washer is in front of the window. 




They made a mess inside installing it. 


They chose to install it in a different pipe than I expected, which means they dug up the rest of the side yard.


They used this pipe.


This is the daylight or drainoff pipe.  There is a constant trickle coming out of it.  This is where the excess water goes.  It is pretty close to the stream. 


The well looks normal now.  The containment pit was filled in and all that too.  Still a major mess I will have to clean up though. 


All the line is insulated.  I haven't been able to tell if they installed heat tapes and whatnot on it though.


If they did, they didn't use the outlets that were installed for that purpose.


Today's septic update: he actually did more smoothing.  This at least looks better, though I didn't go walking around in it too much. 


He also did some repair work on the driveway, which he said he wasn't intending to do.  I guess I complained too much.  The truck only bottoms out in one spot now.


As for the work that I did, I installed my "soil pipe adapter".  Unfortunately it looks like I made life harder on myself, since it wasn't installed far enough into the other pipe, which means I need to cut it off and grind out the lip inside.  I also used the wrong fitting, since one of my couplers doesn't have the lip inside (for this purpose) and I used the first one I found underneath.  Doh! 


I am still a long sweep 90 short, so I wasn't able to finish it.  I dry fitted the next couple of pieces though. 


I have been using this since it was there, and this is actually quite nice to lay on.  It is slippery enough that I can move around on it, is waterproof, and helps keep the dust and grime off the coat.  And it was a spare piece, so I don't really have a use for it.


I had to leave and be back in Keene before 6 since I realized that I never paid the loan payment that I took out for the septic, which I thought was due today (since I thought today was the 23rd...  Doh!)

Once I get confirmation that the well is complete, I will test it (I can turn on the generator and the pressure tank should fill) which will complete that item.  Since I didn't finish the plumbing, that isn't off the list yet.  No movement on the checklist yet.  Tomorrow is supposed to be rainy and miserable.  There is a chance it will be warm enough to do the fiberglass though, so I might try to do that tomorrow evening.
