The basement is dug and the garage excavation is almost complete. We're kicking up a LOT of dust. Look at this image to see how far down before there is ANY moisture. If it does ever rain again, we do at least have the silt fence in place. Note the installation details. This contractor understands how they are supposed to work. Even though we are quite a way from any dry weather stream, a silt fence is still required by the Blount County NPDES permit, and our guy respects that.
Since we got impatient and planted some landscaping before the build, we're needing to water the trees to keep them alive during the dry weather. Not to worry! I found a guy on Craigs list selling reclaimed reagent tanks. We bought one... loaded it into the back of our "Big Ugly" truck and water the trees regularly. Once the house is built, this tank will becomne one of our rainwater collection tanks under the deck. It's perfect. 276 gallons w/ a steel cage. It still had a little blackstrap Molasses residue inside when I got it so I knew exactly what it was used for. Completely safe!
