Necessity is the mother of invention. As a business Student at Portland State University I lived 70 miles from my favorite resort Mt Hood Meadows. Working part time as an instructor to get a season pass and stacking my full time school schedule into 2 or 3 days are all symptoms of an addiction to skiing. The necessity and addiction was further fueled by the opportunity to compete in biathlon competitions with the National Guard. As a typical college student I could not afford the 140 mile round trip commute to the Mountain. I tirelessly searched forums and YouTube to build a cooking oil conversion for a 1980 international Scout with a diesel engine. The Blog documenting the conversion is www.VeggieScout.blogspot.com. After commissioning and graduating in 2007 I deployed to Iraq with Aco 41 BSTB (SAPPER) Oregon National Guard. Upon my return I started my hobby full time and it is now becoming my life's work. We have a lot of ambitions ahead of us to accomplish our goals of sustainable energy and look forward to the trip.

Here's how we approach every project:
• Full septic inspection and site evaluation before any digging starts
• Septic installation done to code with the right equipment

Those pipes going into the ground right now are the lifelines of this home's entire wastewater system.

A septic installation is more than just dropping a tank in a hole. Every line in these trenches has to be set at the right slope and depth so waste flows properly from the house to the tank and out to the drain field.

Cut corners here, and you are looking at septic tank or drain field repair years earlier than you should. Mid-October is a smart time to get this work done, since the ground is still in good shape before the season's heavy rains settle in.

Once the system is in, keeping it healthy is simple with routine septic tank pumping, septic tank cleaning, and a septic inspection every few years. Good septic maintenance now means no surprise backups later.

Breaking ground on a new septic system is one of the most important projects a property owner will ever take on.
