At some point after the Jets and the Patriots finished up their game (what, I'm supposed to know who won??) our septic design guy called with the results of the perc test, actually performed Friday.
Apparently Wednesday's order of business was to simply find sites and dig holes in the ground. On the next day with temperatures above 25 degrees (Friday) he actually filled the holes, and then watched them drain.
The result is good - the ground is absorptive enough for a septic system where we want it. The catch (isn't there always a catch?) is that our ground is somewhat rocky, and he'd really prefer to know what he's digging into before he designs the system. Is this a rock, a mound of earth, or a ledge that requires dynamite (well, maybe not that bad). To make this more challenging, we have about a foot of snow on the ground, pretty much masking the property with a blanket of white.
So there's a good chance we won't make the March 1st deadline for getting the house in place, before they post the roads. We'll have to play it by ear for a while. Dale, our construction overlord, is going to talk to the septic guy and see what the options are.
