More digging

Last week Derek Thompson from Coastal Enterprises started putting in our septic system. Above is his excavator, and on the left you can see the septic tank and some of the white piping. At one point Derek had to get in the tank to cut something with his jackknife to make it fit. He could have used our rip saw and avoided getting in the tank, but that was the one day we had all the tools locked up, and he couldn't get at it. The hole he used to get in the tank doesn't look big enough to let a person through (see below in red).

Here's a closer look at the trench that will have the water lines running from our well to the house:

And here's my rhubarb plant after they were done with the excavator. It still looks sort of alive here, but trust me... it is most certainly dead now.
