Where is that septic tank?

February 23, 2011 - After speaking with the Health Department I learned we needed to locate the septic tank and be sure there are no encroachment issues with them to get there approval for the building permit so I borrowed a few tools from work - probing rod and a pin finder/metal detector and started the hunt. 

After just a few minutes - treasure was found albeit too close to the house for my liking...and VDH - well maybe.  I learned we need 10 feet from any foundation/footing - based on the plan for the new front porch we might have an inch! 

Gee...I wonder if pier footings will work....
