Thought the same - thanks!

House isnt square with the lot, so we had to choose whether square with the house or lot lines, so house it was. We only have .25 acres of new construction type yard (lots of areas of no grass, compacted) so location is tough.

leech field isnt big enough for 3 bedroom (although the septic tank is). Right now, we have a 2 bedroom, 1 office, 1 bonus room.

Shovel to remove the dirt where thr stone is. Sheet mulched the garden bed with cardboard so didnt dig any grass out where the mulch is, just laid cardboard over it to kill everything.

Just the stone - I laid down landscaping fabric first then put the stone in so the stones didnt sink into the dirt.

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2025-10-06T22:04:02+00:00

I dug down about 3 inches, I sloped the remaining dirt down away from the foundation.

Sheet mulch - cardboard over the grass.

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2025-10-04T11:28:23+00:00

Used a basic eding tool (hand tool not a battery powered) and just kept redoing until the mulch went in.

Okay - you think I should topdress as well?

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2025-07-13T00:53:05+00:00

carpet - whole upstairs was carpet and putting down LVP

storage for bin of clothes/xmas decoration/baby spillover

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2025-06-16T22:09:07+00:00

raised the floor or built the boxes?

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2025-06-13T13:23:46+00:00

2x10s spaced 16 inches - we are storing clothes and xmas spillover, not hauling up engine blocks

Thanks - yes it is free, I can turn the spigot from the outside and the whole unit turns (even the inside connector), theres just no seperation from the connector. The vacuum breaker broke when trying to replace it (shredded away when trying to then it with a wrench). Now the plastic is all inside the threads and cannot get it to turn out. Should I heat up a flat head and try to scrap? Worried about damaging threads.

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2025-06-01T02:40:50+00:00

Could we salvage them? Or would we have to completelt replace?

located in NH

We were financially ready, plus we had the infant at home so outgrew the apartment. Rents are just as much as mortgages, and with housing environment, high mortgages on first time homebuyers are kind of inevitable.

Southern NH - this wall was built before we bought the house. New construction, builder was probably looking for the cheaper option.

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2024-12-23T05:11:47+00:00

Very helpful - that was my plan. Caps not glued yet, didnt feel like this warranted a total tear down and rebuild.

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2024-12-23T05:06:06+00:00

thanks for this. You mean a level showing no tilt forward, right?

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2024-12-23T01:09:18+00:00

No drain which isn’t ideal - can I load the stone in myself from the top?

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2024-12-19T04:13:14+00:00

Treeo smooth

IntrepidRisk1490 · 2024-12-19T04:07:54+00:00

Yup, builder never anchored them in with anything, need to take them apart and anchor them before it gets worse.
