Pea Gravel for Lining the bottom
The bottom of the hole was lined with pea gravel which was very important for having a soft base for the container that would also drain well to the soil below the container.
By now, it’s obvious what Wayne had planned for the container and the hole, but what was he really up to? Here’s a clue – there is a good reason he ensured there was some extra space above the container once it was in the hole.
Sometimes, you Still Need a Professional
Although most of this project was done by Wayne himself, for certain aspects it only made sense to bring in a professional. Most people don’t have access to a big crane that can pick up a big container and lower it into the ground. This is where a septic company with such equipment was called in to do the heavy lifting.
Wayne’s decision to get some help for this aspect is really much better than trying to figure it out with your family and friends how to get the container into the hole. But once it’s in, the work is far from over and here’s where it gets a little trickier than you thought it would be.
