September 2011 we started to apply for our permits; working
first on the Septic permit. Getting the
life time sanitary permit was easy and straight forward. But we did need to dig two holes in the
field. The Application said give the
inspector 3- 5 weeks . She said that he would be out
that day or the next. We asked her to
put a note on our file to call first . We went home and Doug dug one hole that
night. We used that hole to make a movie
of our soil at 5 feet for Geo Gerry. We
posted it on U- Tube. We now have 11 hits. The first hole was dry and hard for Doug to
dig. It took about 3 hours to
complete. For the second hole I put the
sprinkler on overnight. Doug was able to
dig the second hole in about an hour. That
happened over a Monday and Tuesday. I had taken Monday off work.
Doug and I are finding out that it works better for us to go
in together to get the permits. This way
we both hear what is being said and we can each ask the questions that we have.
By Thursday of that week the inspector from the county
came out and did our evaluation.
By mid week the following week we had our site evaluation
permit. $726,
