Septic tank inspection

The guy came to inspect the septic tanks this morning. He was pretty thorough, checking the depth of sand and gravel in the filter beds, various levels of pipework, the levels for the septic tanks, the pumping stations, ventilation out to the roof, etc. Everything passed although he did recommend a grill on the outflow pipe in the gulley to prevent vermin coming up the pipe.

Once he had left the guys starting backfilling everything and leveling out the garden. It rained really heavily all weekend so the ground was very wet which didn't make it that easy, but even though they haven't quite finished it's starting to return to normality. Hopefully they should be finished by lunchtime tomorrow.

No grass left but at least I've got a nice blank canvas for new garden design.

These are my experiences of renovation and running a gite business in Brittany, France. A gite is the French equivalent of a country holiday cottage. French culture, language, taxes and bureaucracy. Find out about our gites using the links on the LHS. Stories about the road to this point will be added in due course. Renovation nightmares, builders, stress, etc. Stay tuned.
