Rock me gently rock me slowly



Finally we are making progress on getting septic system put in.  Here you can see pile of rocks-it was pure rock under about 3 inches of dirt.  It took 11 hours and a huge piece of equipment to break the rock into small pieces so they could create the hole.  Since it was rocky-they had to make the hole bigger so they could surround the tank in sand!  Joy more $$.  Anyway-we now have  enough rock for a greatly enlarged driveway plus even more.    This first picture shows you the size of the whole-the white is all rock and rock dust.  The whole is 7 ft deep and 14 by 7 feet.    

Next picture is that of the "rock pile"  It is about 7 ft tall and huge.   There is some granite, limestone and other rock hard enough to withstand just about anything. Now I know why the water is so hard here.
