    Little Noah tried so hard to help you buring part of the pipe. " I help you did it all the time, let me go get more" I Love it! Helping Daddy. The way all children should learn and sadly most of them don;t now a days. God bless you all for teaching them and for all the love and guidence they get as well. One heck of a family!

    Very impressive work Jesse. Years ago, when NY was getting into the above ground septic systems bigtime, I sold a piece of property. The new homeowner (family of 3) informed me that he had a $43,000 septic system quote. I said that was unbelievable but now, I have an idea of why they cost so much. For that price, it is like you design a septic system and attach a house to it.

      We do a mix of above ground and cut and fill septics in Michigan, and I have yet to see a system hit $43,000.. that's just insane. Biggest most expensive one I've done was around $28,000 and that was 4 tanks, 2 240v pumps and a 100' pump line to a 35x60 bed.

      I purchased a home that needed Title 5 upgrade in Massachusetts so I agreed to pay for septic for lower selling price, it cost me $30,000 by the time I was done finagled another $3-4 grand for more perk sand out of me. Only reason I agreed is because I have a 2’ water table with CLAY, WTF you going to do?

We’re in Ontario, west if you and we have the same type of soil- fractured flat rocks for walls and round glacier stones and boulders. Hard to make topsoil out of it but with lots of sifting and compost, I do.

    One of the first videos of yours I watched was you installing the electrical meter for your dad's house, as far as I remember you were saying that was for your dad's property and cabin, then the next in the series was you building your garage/shed. It took me until now to hear you say they connect to your property to figure out why it looked so similar to your property. That only took like 6-7 years. I am a bit slow sometimes, but at least I ain't all in your business.
    Looks good, maybe do an update once it is all done and some cover is growing on it; that would be nice and only take a minute.

    Your timing is impeccable! One of my neighbors has a system that is about to fail. We have jury rigged it for now and a few guys have been out and NO ONE talked about a system like this! They all wanted to put in a system that runs opposite of the failing one, uphill to a new lateral field. A grinder and low pressure ejection pump system and the money is astronomical. There is a perfect spot on the other side of a detached garage/barn and then the ground drops off about 5" making a perfect spot to do what you just did. When it is said and done there will be even less of a slope. We don't have access to all the fill you made so it will all be hauled in along with the sand and rock. I bought a new tractor about a year ago probably about the size of your dads and it will get a few hours put on it, ya do what you gotta do I guess! I was starting to think that boy didn't have any shoes or pants! ;o) Another job well done!

    I guess people generally do not know that the base of the trunk of trees is where most of the "breathing" is done by trees. If you cover up that trunk, it will suffocate essentially. However... I've heard that it is possible to add about 1 inch per year or so and the tree will acclimate to it's new ground level. I did this myself years ago when I put a pool in and needed to raise a good portion of the back yard. One inch per year for the 15 years I owned the property finally got it up to level... so your Mom was smart to build that stone wall... but it would be possible to adjust that over time to her liking.

    We don't backfill under inlet or outlet pipes in NH. A lot of them are twisted or have a sag from backfilling or running over them during backfilling, the trenches aren't compacted first. A few have to be dug and repaired to get the proper pitch back.

    Your son cracks me up. (Noah?) This was a big job. I've learned a little something about moving dirt recently... Nice work, Jesse.

      Yea Noah is a funny little dude. I have been watching your pond videos and yep it seems like a bigger excavator would be in your future. Not too long ago you could find bigger machines for cheap because everybody wanted a mini that you can move with a pickup truck. Now the bigger machines are getting harder to find for cheap for some reason.

    I could stand where your camera is and watch you for hours! I like your explanations for doing things. It all makes sense to me. I know you're in the business but having equipment you do, makes tasks so much easier. Your know-how and creativeness impress me. I have been watching your channel for some time now and enjoy the long content. Thanks for taking the time to video and post.
