Setting The Tower

They set one of the neighbor's towers this morning.  I did what I do best...set on the sidelines, took pictures and supervised from a distance.  From start to finish was under 2 hours.

The auger...beats doing it by hand.

Starting the hole.

First load of many.



Shaking the dirt off.

Still drilling.
Setting the tower.

Almost there.

Leveling things out.

Backfilling bottom with crushed rock while keeping things level.

The grinder pump before insertion.

Finished except for hookup and yard work.

Your getting sewers! We are supposed to get them here within this next year...I think. We have been promised them so many times. Our addition started requesting them about ten years ago. It was interesting to see what will happen. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

oh man, that's a huge job! Thank goodness for big equipment and nice shade for those guys to work under.
