It’s better than it was…

Looks like the rain beat us to the slope.

Chipping away at correcting the slope…

This is a preliminary adjustment to the existing grade that will provide better drainage and a better work surface during construction. Still a few more hours of machine work to go here on the initial cut. We will do a final grade closer to completion.

Septic tank ready to be filled in…

So long French drains, here comes the American version…

These drains were abundant throughout the yard. Although they may have provided relief at some time, they became ineffective and were a safe haven for pests. We will correct the grade around the house to provide proper drainage away from the structure, and ditch the French.

Looks like Jake the snake left a skin while chasing rats through the drains.
