Nicely done. Because time was short when I received my OWB, I did not have time to finish the site before the weather changed. Now, we are getting mornings in the teens and twenties so the ground isn't an issue but today we received rain with temps in the 40's. You can imagine what the site looks like surrounding the OWB. To say it's muddy is an understatement.
Your plumbing work is very nice. It's always a joy to look at a plumbing job that's well done and thought out.
Congrats!

I wish I had recorded more info on my underground pipe installation Oh well. Too late.
Great job on your installation!!!
-
Roger, thank you for your kind words. Not sure where you live, but here in NE Indiana it has been raining for the better part of two days. Everything here is a terrible mess as well. A week ago temps were in low to mid 20s.
-
I live in NH. The temps have been all over the board. Going to cool off this weekend but as next week begins we're expecting temps to climb into the 40's again. It's no wonder that the flu and cold has been running rampid here.

Man I wish I had rented one of those Hilti Core Boring units. I did my with an electric drill, concrete bits, and a hammer...of course, the first shot into the stem wall I hit rebar :bash:
Anyway, that looks like a professional install. Very nicely done.
-
Ah yes rebar.
When I was talking to the rental place he originally suggested a piece of equipment that was a little cheaper. But when I told him I thought there was probably rebar in the wall he said I needed to use the Hilti. Good thing too! I started the bore and then asked my wife if she wanted to give it a shot. She initially said no, but then said what the heck, when would she ever get a chance to do it again.
Wouldn't you know that about 30 seconds after she took over it bogged down and was stuck. It took a little bit of time but I got it backed out and then bored thru what I suspected was a piece of rebar. I gave her control again and she finished the hole.
When we took the concrete plug out of the hole saw a sliver of steel came out and at the bottom of the hole was a horizontal rebar with a nice smooth arc cut in it.
Anyway thanks for your comments!

A professional install and well documented.
I too, did 100% of my installation. It take a lot of hours, but one can get it like they want it done.
I took a lot of photos during the installation as well.
Thanks for sharing, Dean
