We were very lucky that the farmer gave us permission to tap into his water supply temporarily, so at least we were half way there. For the installation of the septic tank we were waiting on permission from the Environment Agency, so there was little we could do other than wait...
Checking the post box religiously finally brought the piece of paper we needed and work began. For a large property the pipe work was going to involve nearly 50m of pipe.
But we had an added complication that the adjacent fields are a county wildlife site and so we had to be a certain distance away - we measured it out carefully.
With the help of Melv's friend Nigel, who has put in more septic tanks than we have had hot dinners - progress was fast.
The saying you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs comes to mind - but he knew what he was doing.
And it soon started to take shape...
And after just two days from start to finish, the portaloo was off hired and I got back from work to find a flushing toilet inside - pure luxury!
