Trenches and pipes and septic, oh my

Our concrete floors are hard enough to walk on. (Standing in the boys' area, looking west.)

During the last couple of days, the excavators have been creating the trenches for our septic system, and the guys have been laying the pipes. The system goes to almost our property line, so the approach to the forest has been cleared for the pipes and to accommodate the drain field. We're excited to have such easy access to the forest, since previously we had to battle through overgrown brush, both prickly and not, to reach the forest. (Inside the forest there is very little undergrowth, in theory at least partly due to the elk that roam through.)

The septic system is coming together.

The septic system goes from the house (on the right) to the forest (on the left).
