When we first bought an tigin, there was an outhouse in the barn and a faucet for the kitchen sink. That was the entire plumbing for the house. We always wondered what the sink drained in to.
While digging the hole for the septic system, Martin discovered the gray water sump for the kitchen sink. It was a hole lined with bricks and filled with rocks. The water from the kitchen sink drained into it for years and the dregs that came with that water collected in the sump. We suspect that the wringer washer that was in the barn also drained into the sump.
Martin dug out 25 - 5 gallon buckets of stinky, greasy, smelly, black, viscous, disgusting material that had collected in the sump over the years.
Despite cave ins, we finally got the hole for the septic tank dug.
Then the septic tank was delivered.
After that, Martin dug the trench for the drainage pipe to the leach field. The drainage pipe is in place and is connected to the distribution box and covered with 2 inch solid insulation to protect it from freezing.
Next we connect the septic to the house and then fill everything back in.
