 Tuesday - late morning

After 8 days of working, I finally get a day off and I wasted the morning doing what? sleeping. In fact, the only reason I'm awake now is that my dog was out there barking incessantly.  I finally got out of bed, went out there and yelled at him to shut up!!! and then came back in, decided it was time to get up and now? Drinking a cup of black coffee, no sugar, no creamer, just coffee.

Coffee, or black coffee anyway, is allowed on a fast.  I have started another one today and hoping to make it 3 days at least.  3 days is the minimum where you start getting all the internal benefits of fasting.  5 days is better and 7 even better. But, 5 and 7 days are long times to go without food.  

I dunno, but my sleep has been so bad, today was an excellent day for it to kick in and say, yup, you gonna sleep!  I literally could sleep another 2 hours and think nothing of it, but, I have things I want to get done today.  Drink my coffee and head over to the property and start marking things out.  I think I forgot the paint tho, I'm gonna have to go to Lowe's if I did, first, and get some.  

I'm hoping it will only take a couple of hours and get it over with, I really don't want to spend a day off work to -.....- work.

 Evening

I spent hours out there beyond going to harbor freight, lowe's and other places.  I got half of it done, amazingly enough I thought it wouldn't even take that long to do ALL of it.  However, I have it outlined in my mind now, it will be easy enough to finish it up before Tuesday of next week. 

-I just had to decide how to run the sewer pipe since it's got a pretty good long way to go from the furthest pedestal to the tanks.  That was the hardest part, digging it out will be even harder. It has to be at a slight incline and I'm no expert at doing that.  1 inch fall per 10 feet if I recall correctly. I'll be watching some videos if there are some available on the subject matter.  Electrical is easy, it doesn't care if it's going up or down or nothing.  Water line the same, under pressure.  Just have to decide where to tap into it.  

It runs along near where the septic tanks are, I will likely tap in there since there will already have to be a trench there anyway.  No, the sewer line is going to be the hard part.  In fact, it just dawned on me that I will have to lay out all the lots for the south side so that I can install sweeping wyes for each lot.  Easier than it sounds, I have all of it dialed in how I want it now, just have to finish marking it.

The sewer line is going to be pricey, too. Talking at least 400 feet.  It's $50 per 20 feet.  Yeah, that's 2 grand just worth of sewer pipe lol. That doesn't include fittings and outlets.  

Anyway, it's getting late and I'm getting offa here.
