Two More Steps Forward and One Back

More of Septic Tank installation.

Jib Tree Truck

We got a jib truck to lift the septic tank and lower it into the hole.

Lifting Septic Tank

First step is to hoist the tank up and clear of the trailer.

Backing up to hole.

The next step is to back up to the already excavated hole.

Septic Tank being lowered.

The tank is now lowered into the hole.

Final resting place.

This happened on Saturday May 21. Now, if you look carefully it seems to be slightly raised on the right-hand end. It turns out that the plumber stopped by on Sunday. They set up the transit level and it turns out that the offset is 5 inches which is too much.

Also, the tank needs to be moved to the right about 3-6 feet, to allow 22.5-degree angles to turn the corner from the entry from the house into the tank. The bottom line is that we will need to rent a backhoe to re-dig the hole to enlarge it to the right and move it to the right.

As the title says, Two steps forward, one step back.
