I'm thinking of getting into the septic system installation business in Oregon. I think it is a very cool, environmentally friendly technology. Very informative video, thanks of posting!
I have another video on the soil testing process for this system if you have not seen it yet. NC Barndominium Build - Septic Soil Eval and Approval ua-cam.com/video/I6TWgvgRgH8/v-deo.html I was surprised at how involved the whole waste water install was.
I like to be able to DIY everything I do. I REALLY hate having to give money away for permits and licensing, etc. The "professionals" many times would (and do) build it exactly how I would myself. But they have to charge more because they have to pay some government entity for licensing. And once you use the professionals, then that government entity knows about your project. And then that government entity starts salivating and crawling all over themselves trying to nail you with even more fees, or worse yet, telling you that you can't do something you were planning on doing. Then after you jump through all the appropriate hoops and cut the red tape, and spend a small fortune ASKING someone permission to build on your own property, they reward your finished project with nice property taxes. Because if you can build something with your sweat and blood and money, then you obviously have more money you can give to them.
@@ncbarndobuild I feel like we think alike. Love the channel btw. Closing on a nice piece of land this coming Wednesday. Came to your channel because I want to either pour a partial basement or do a crawlspace on a post frame build. I'm in southwestern indiana and there aren't many slabs here, unlike in the more southern states.
@@chrisgentry4427 Nice! You probably already know this but Menards is a great place for post frame supplies. It is a 4 hour drive up to WV for me but I have saved thousands of dollars buying through them. Post frame homes are not very popular in my area so finding some things proved difficult and when I could find them they were double the price.
@@ncbarndobuild I'm lucky enough to have a menards in the same town I live, 3 different lowes, and 2 home depots within 30 minutes. And about 45 minutes away are Amish builders that specialize in post frame construction and they produce the metal from coils at their shop. 99% of this is for barn/shop construction, but in the last 10 years post frame houses have started to take off around here. There is even a local bank that has billboards in the area advertising barndominium loans. It's a great place for materials. However, it seems the price of other things have went through the roof. The price on concrete has jumped to the moon. I told the wife we would have to do this out of pocket, because around here, if you do a loan, they will not let you do any of the building yourself, which doubles to triples the cost. I'm a pretty good carpenter myself, but I want to thank you again for this channel, because it gives me some ideas on how I want to do my own building.
@@ncbarndobuild what an insane ask. I'm guessing it had to do with the soil, but that still seems super excessive. I'm glad you got to do it though. Getting a modern aerobic septic system with multiple chambers, chloride treatments, etc costs a fortune to install and maintain. (And it's the maintenance that no one takes into consideration)

@@ncbarndobuild I will watch that today, I find the subject quite interesting, Thanks!
That guy on that backhoe has got skills son!
He is my go to excavation guy. You should see him grade with his dozer!
What's funny is each chamber holds about 50 gallons full. How much water do they think people will use lol
Nice lol how much that cost ya?
$7,500

I hear ya. I don’t enjoy paying taxes but what bothers me more than paying taxes is seeing how the government spends that tax money.

That is an absurd number of chambers
Totally agree. 3 bedroom house and they required me to have 400’ linear feet of chamber.
