Septic and excavation work

The baby excavator starting to dig for the septic tanks which was the 1st big bit of site-work taken on. (Aside from the construction roadway which was built to get the equipment up the hill onto the rock.)

The bigger rock breaker, which was on-site for a day and a half. We had to crack solid granite for allow for footings for the foundation. All was well until the last pass and equipment failure forced the operator to wait for the heavy duty mechanics to arrive. The other equipment was forced to go under its arm.

Looking over the septic tank excavation. We chose to use the peat-moss based Eco-Flo system, ttp://http://www.ecofloontario.com which requires a smaller foot-print for the tanks and bed. This was the scene with the broken down high-hoe, the smaller excavator, and the flatbed with the septic tanks on board. A tight fit.
