    hi looking for opinions on this one..

    as the digger is still on site and the house foundations have now been completed i'm wondering would i be better off in excavating for the septic tank/percolation area now or would i be better off waiting until all other
    works have been completed?

    Unfortunately, i have to take a lot of soil (1Meter) from the back garden (percolation area) and import new soil to meet the requirements for the tank

    it would make it much easier to do it now, but i'm afraid pipes etc may
    get damaged before the house is completed


    what do ye think?

    I think you might have answered your own question. I wouldn't worry too much about the pipes but what about the tank itself? Something heavy drive over it and its fecked.

    thanks Avns1s i think you're right,

    i'm trying to rush to job through as we have fallen behind a bit,
    i better wait i certainly don't want to replace a septic tank:eek:

    it would make life much easier though
