Instead of using the current path that has been well used thus far in the process of our addition the idiotic concrete truck decides to go around the other side of our septic tank which was marked off and drove over the drainfield of our septic resulting in 1 foot deep ruts over the drainfield. Not sure if anything is crushed, guess I'll have to wait to see if "it starts bubbling up". AARGGH!!
Damn - that's never good.
Did you say some nice kind words to the driver? :D

Cole, no I actually wasn't there. I came home after work to be happily surprised that I had a nice new floor poured, then upon walking over to see it, noticed some dark shadows to my left and looked over and flipped out. The guy who did the pour came over later to tarp it and he got an earful!

So Dragon, believe it's crushed?
Had my neighbor come over, who did the septic and he's not sure, thinking the ground may have not been driven over since it was put in so it just "compacted the fluffed soil" He recommends putting some hay over it for the winter so it doesn't freeze and bring in some black dirt in the Spring.
