I waited to do my excavation for Plumbing and Electrical, mostly because I wasn’t sure how to do it. I watched my neighbors and other builders put it in and then rented a Kubota for a week. A neighbor helped with the excavation putting about 13 hours on the machine. I put in 27. Did a lot of work in the last two days before they came to take it away.

The soil pipe and storm sewers were nice and straight to the city lines. They are deep too. Don’t have to worry about freezing. My neighbor helped with this dig. I would’ve never done it this way. I had planned more bends. His way was better.

I forgot about this drain and had to do some creative plumbing. After I did this, I realized I could’ve run it the other direction and connected further down the line in a smoother path. Luckily, it’s only drainage for floor drains. Not suppose to get much water here. And I added an extra cleanout.
