Thursday - night

Uhh, it's a little past my bedtime, just sitting here waiting to recover so I can finish my pushups. I finally got back into the habit of it again, didn't want to lose what I had worked so hard to gain.  Don't use em', you lose em'.  Just 15 more to go but I stopped doing them for several weeks so it's kind of a push to get back into it.

I am reading that it can take up to 30 days for the state of Texas to approve or deny a septic system permit request.  These people doing it have been in the business for decades, kind of hard to imagine they would not approve it. That would entail plan B - install one myself. Not actually a septic system install guy here, but there is a YouTube video for everything, right? Nah, I'm confident it will get approved, just didn't figure in the time it will take to get that permit approved and get that system installed.  Might be a bit.  I could get the electrical panel ready to go at least?

That might take a minute as well. I dunno if the power company has to approve that, the last time they just left the box open for the contractor to do the install. I didn't even look at it today, the panel where the other 2 panels are, kind of spaced it.  I was tired and just wanted to go home.  Some nights I sleep ok, many nights I don't. Not often that I can say I slept "well". 

If nothing else, there are 5,000 gallon underground septic tanks - they cost around 5 grand.  I don't know how many days one of those can handle before it needs pumped out.  

I've worked 4 days this week with 2 more to go.  3rd week I think that they have had me working 6 days in a row with Sunday off. It's sort of ok, I need 2 days off at least here and there, just need the rest sometimes.  Or time to get other things done.  

And the alternate lot where I've filled it several times and the people that moved in were ridiculous? Well this time, I think I have a winner.  Middle aged lady, older 5th wheel but in good condition, has a dude coming over here and there, quiet, keeps to herself.  She works locally and said she just needs a place to "hang out".  Whatever floats her boat, I'm happy to get the money every month and not a lot of hassle doing it. 

Anyway, I guess I better take a look at that setup tomorrow, get the brand and model number of the existing panels and order another one.  Installing it is simply bolting it to the framework.  After that, it's the contractor that will have to do the line from the bottom of the telephone pole over to that panel.  I'm going to work on getting that done.  And I will start measuring out the lots, but I need to get the layout good first.  

Meaning, where I'm going to put each lot and how long and wide I want them. I'm not going to go 40 feet like I did these other ones.  I'll probably go 30 feet wide instead.  Just need to back up the truck into position and sit on the tailgate and think about how I am going to get 14 lots in there but also for the future, if I want to dump 14 more in there. There is room for 28 lots up there, but adding 14 more up there after these first 14 is going to be more costly.

Mostly because I'll need to build another driveway.  It'll start at the main entrance, head west for about 75 feet and then curve around towards the south.  The back in lots will be turned into pull throughs and then the new lots - if this ever even happens - will all be back ins.  

I'm pretty tired right now.  I"ve been working, thinking, watching the news and yes, still playing some Fortnite (online interactive video game).  

So with that, I'm going to do my last 15 pushups and go to bed.
