Inching forward or possibly drilling through

The septic drainfield is, at long last, done!!! Or at least, almost done.

Hooray, hooray, hooray!!

But ...

of course, there's a but ...

As I mentioned back in Chapter one, the contractors who poured the foundation installed the pipe for the septic outlet too high. Not hooray; that little problem has come back to bite us in the ... septic system.

The outlet, says the county, must be located a foot below the surface, which means that poor DH must either drill a new hole through the solid cement foundation or dig underneath it. Digging would be easier; it's a question of whether that will permit enough of a drop for the gravity-fed system.

And so the fun continues.

I don't believe I've mentioned the roof truss people lately. They continue to express their annoyance, via the lumber salesman. 
On the bright side, we have been fortunate in the weather, which has been dry and sunny. The forecast calls for rain on Wednesday, and several days thereafter.
