As I mentioned in another thread where I followed the construction of a modular home near where I live; a new lot has been listed for a house. The lot is about 20' from the end of my driveway, which makes it easy for me to check in daily on progress. And 1500' from my house and lawn, which makes it far enough away that I don't hear the construction process.
In that other thread I already shared a couple pictures of the corner stakes and this one identified as the "Infiltration Test" location.
This morning Scout and I took a longer hike, and heard an excavator, so we wandered to the end of the drive and found the source:
They've dug a trench about 6' deep near the Infiltration Test stake and set a 5 gallon bucket in it. There is a guy sitting in the truck. Maybe having a coffee, maybe waiting to see if the bucket fills, not sure.
The Lot for sale sign still shows: "Sale Pending". Again I am not sure if the sign is out of date, or if the Infiltration Test is a pre-condition of sale.
FWIW, It appears Scout and I will follow another house build, and this time never even leave our driveway. Stay tuned!
