4.19.2015

Jim spent the first part of the day working on the new door lockset.  He's really impressed with the quality, so all of the work tracking it down was worth it. Because of the way the lock is, he even had to drill a couple more holes in the door to attach it.


But...drumroll, please...we have our first lock and key for the property!

 
Then it was back to the septic system.  He got the run from the septic tank to the distributor box all figured out and in place - it just needs glued together.
 
 
Jim saved the worst for last...this is the hardest connection because both ends are fixed - you can't adjust either one when you are trying to glue and attach.  Plus, you are working inside the tank basically so it's tough to get the right pressure when gluing. 
 

Getting the first connection...


Whew...done!  We'll have to get the laser level back out and get the grade of the line from the carriage house to the box all perfect again, but the connection is in and set.


 
We cut the day short because it was the Cavs first playoff game and we wanted to be home to watch it - and they beat Boston so it was a good day!  It looks like we may be in for a rainy few days coming up but we feel good about the progress we've made on the septic system.
