Septic!

We've been making lots of progress in the last few days, and we've also had a great crew working on the septic system which is now done. It's great to see that finally done, since it has, in essence, been in the works since very early on. We've had to contend with an open trench right next to the front door for a long time, but today it was finally filled in.
While they were working on that we've been working on the floor for the loft. It's been a puzzle, but I think that we have a good solution which was not quite as difficult as I had expected. I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves on that front. The interior walls and the loft floor were certainly made more difficult by the fact that they have to been essentially free standing. A few of the floor joists are connected to the rafters, but apart from that it is all built inside the yurt with no connection to exterior walls.
As you can see from the pictures in the process of septic installation the excavator had to come very close to the building which would be quite disconcerting if I didn't know that the operator was very good. It was quite amazing to watch the whole process which basically only took a day and a half. It's great to find people who are very good at what they do.
Abrahm was very excited to see the excavator and dump trucks there as well, and it was especially exciting when he got to sit in the excavator. In general he's very into tractors and other equipment so it was a huge thrill.
Well I think I'm going to sign off for now, and head to bed soon. Ben
