PatYes, I am going to get all the bumps out of the ditch just easier to grade it when there isn't an old hack job of a pipe laying in my way. Got the 7 cubic yards of sand on standby in the front driveway...which hind sight being 20/20 ordering it a little to early was a bad idea as they were able to do same day delivery and now I will have to pressure wash the driveway when I finish this project. Local code is 1/4"-1/8" per foot I'll be aiming for 1/4" till I get the fluid moving at a decent clip, but you can get away with the last 10' going into the septic being level according to the code...I'm probably just going to keep it at a standard run as I do not have an inverter to increase the velocity into the tank to get the grease down passed the first baffle. Since inside the tank it doesn't have the modern piping.(And the space is to small to try retrofitting one.)
Stickem- Closer to Alexandria side
esshup- I like to use irrigation valve box covers but I like the planter and pea gravel idea as well.

http://www.lowes.com/pd_22658-1814-PVC+0...&facetInfo=I have these irrigation valve boxes identifying all major things on the property that are buried like the main shutoff for my water...which was originally in this strange...I don't even know how to describe it(needless to say it would have been extremely difficult to get it to operate in a pinch) and the picture I removed from my phone. It was like some weird statue thing that was super heavy. Resting on a 12x12 landscape stone for walkways on top of a clay chimney liner...which was then half full of clay from surroundings leaking into this whole strange debacle.
Still haven't found the root barrier fabric all I can find is some plastic looking cones that you would put around a young tree. Or else the steel members that you basically make a wall out of.
Also now a days I don't think it's a matter of people not wanting to jump in and do things on their own. It's a matter of building codes, permits, laws, etc... that intimidates most people from even trying.
