Jim had errands to do in the morning - he had to go to the electric place to order special electric boxes that will be inset into the ICFs. The guy had ordered a sample for Jim to look at so he got those ordered.
He made a stop to the plumbing supply company to talk with the heating specialist there about his plan for the Pex tubing for the deck - the water lines for the radiant heating in the floor. The guy liked Jim's plans and when he put the basic info about the house as far as heat load and size into his computer, he came up with the same info Jim did. There are a few kinds of tubing to choose from so Jim is still deciding.
He also stopped at the concrete place - he had a couple of questions about the septic tank that he got answered. Depending on what the inspector wants, there are different ways to raise the caps on the tank to ground level (the tank obviously has to be covered with dirt). Jim got a sample of a riser that can be used.
After getting back to the land and eating a quick lunch, it was time to get back to work on the infiltrator lines. He got the run of sewer pipe into the infiltrators in the first line - that's the easiest one since it's just a straight shot.
Unfortunately, they get more complicated after that! There's a lot to factor in making this work - everything obviously has to work with the grade and be a tight fit. It all has to be glued together so there isn't room for error. Here Jim is figuring out the infiltrator connection to the pipe.
Then he has to figure out how to connect the pipe to the distribution box!
But he got it - the pipe is in for 2 lines!
Then it was putting down the infiltrators in this second line. Again - this requires precise slope so each one had to be leveled and some hand crumbing of the trench was required.
Last piece!
Time to start the third line. Jim got a start and a plan and will finish the rest tomorrow.
