Starting to grade the lot for drainage. The previous grading of the lot (after removing Mount Berry) had greatly reduced the scope of the problem, but had not reversed the slope of the land which was falling towards the house. In order to promote positive drainage, Cammy dug a trench to start a swale that will carry the water away from the house. Arnold, in the small dozer, has started the general grading that will funnel the water towards the swale.
Here you can see Arnold pushing some rocks out of the way. They can be used for things later.
Here Cammy is placing one of the large rocks which forms the second row of rocks which will enable us to have a flat area behind the barbeque deck. We plan to place the flagstone that Rachel helped us carry to the house in this area.
Arnold is starting to cover the septic field with topsoil. In order to pass the final septic inspection, we have been told that the septic field must be covered with 4 inches of topsoil and grass must be growing on it.
