We live in a small town and honestly got lucky. A few months after my last post my wife and I were talking about the situation with a friend and they referred us to someone they knew that did septic work that was an older gentleman in town. We got to talking on the phone and explained the...

So it’s been a while but I wanted to provide an update. We were finally able to get it all sorted out. It took me a while to find a concrete installer that we felt comfortable with but got it poured up today. Now we play the waiting game for the building.

So we’ve been trying to put up a metal building for a few months now. Good bit of the time has been spent going over yard placement, size of building., etc…etc… the wife wants one thing and I want something else. One thing that is holding us up is I can’t get a clear answer on the whole 811 dig...
