First Bump in the Road

It didn't take very long for us to encounter our first major 'bump in the road' as far as our property development is concerned. Right after our contractor put up the flags, a septic contractor came out to the property to map out the septic system and he discovered a major problem.

The reserve drain field is subject to the same building restrictions as the primary drain field. Because a large amount of our property is designated as wetlands, the septic contractor has told us that there isn't enough land left to support our home, garage and shop.
