We are still in limbo with regards to our septic system. Our contractor and health inspector convened once again near our house site to review the two test hold I had dug. Skeptical of the improved soil he requested an additional hole be dug as he watched. He reiterated that this was the worst soil he has ever seen. The unusual part if the soil is a weird mix of sand and clay. When wet it is malleable like clay but as it dries out, it’s largely fine sand. The inspector cautioned me that, if the soil samples both come back unsuitable, I should not go through with selling our house. I replied that before I resigned myself to that, I would be digging many more test holes. I have the two soil samples so tomorrow I’ll get them to the lab to start another waiting period. I just hope they come back much better than the inspector fears or the hassle with him is just beginning. The two soil tests will cost $130 each, ouch.
Our house is officially on the MLS with signs posted! Tifini got several interested parties and already has a showing at 1 pm tomorrow. I couldn’t locate a skid steer to rent today so hopefully, I can get one tomorrow. Our driveway still has a large hump from the newly covered power line that I need to remove and I need to put new gravel down on the driveway and between the dog kennels. Time to get the house stage ready again.
