The Ground Plumbing

Here's where I had to jump in and do some work. To save a pile of money, I decided to do all the plumbing myself. My builder helped me map it all out and get all the right pieces, then it was up to me to put it all together and pass inspection. The ground plumbing is the drainage system for the entire house. This is where the main sewer line comes out of the ground. The code requires the pipes to slope 1/4" per foot to drain properly. I really wondered if I would make it cause from where the sewer pipe comes out of the ground to the other side of the house was quite a ways. I was a bit worried by the time it got to the other end it would be too high to fit under the crawl space. As it turned out, it JUST made it.
