[Cob] wiring and plumbing

[Amanda Peck]

Welcome to the list.

If it was me, I'd try to have already talked to the health department--or 
whoever it is in your county that approves septic tank locations, etc., and 
the person who is actually going to do the work on the septic tank.

And have someone who knows quite a bit about plumbing talk through your 
layout, where your in and out lines are coming through--probably through 
your foundation.

When I moved into my travel trailer, the septic tank had already been here 
for a couple of months.  If I build here, I am going to have to put my 
foundation around the existing septic tank inlet--if I use a rubble trench 
foundation that may not be too awful, but I'd just as soon not break the 
pipe and have to dig all of that out and redo it, not in this rocky soil.

You know already that a) compact plumbing layouts are good. and b) water 
leaks in and on the walls are bad.

Because of a mild winter (so far), we'll begin working on the foundation 
this coming weekend.

I'm collecting information on wiring and plumbing. We'll have generators and 
solar as well as cistern and septic.
This information may have been covered recently so please excuse me if I am 
asking a redundant question.  I would appreciate any information you all 
care to share.
