  • The septic system for my cabin and shop is in. What a relief to have sewer tied in. Although the bathroom in the old cabin is in disgusting condition now, at least it's something I can keep reasonably clean and usable. My goals for this trip was to have the new sewer system finished, and do a little framing on the barn / shop as time allowed. Nice milestone to achieve.
    This channel is dedicated to educating and entertaining anyone interested in the art/science of historic restoration, which will include construction techniques and goals, related off-site projects, a little homesteading and off-grid living, history and maybe even a little farming. On this property stands a Dogtrot style log cabin built in 1850, with an addition constructed in the 1970's. Although at one point, this was likely quite a nice and well cared for home, but years of neglect has caused a lot of deterioration.My intent is to have you learn some construction and restoration basics, as you watch. None of my videos are intended to teach the use o-f safety techniques or use of personal protective equipment. That responsibility is yours and those around you.

    Thanks for the question. There are fittings connecting all the drain line pipes. The solid pipes have expanded ends built in.

    Great videos. What are drain lines are they connected by pipe? Seem to not be connected.

      What may be confusing is that once the excavation is done, the drain piping is laid in the trenches. Once excavation was finished, they connected them. What you don't see is another guy going back to the shop to get the connectors they forgot to bring with them, lol.

    Can lose the hillbilly music, the plastic tank is junk, should fill with water before backfilling, it will float out, what state are you guys in? permits, inspections?

      No, I won't lose the hillbilly music. Are you a classless idiot? The tank was filled before backfilling. I'm a contractor and have seen more failures with a concrete tank than with composite ones. Yes, we have permits and inspections on septic systems, but no building inspections because the county doesn]t issue permits.
