Home Improvements

One of the wonderful things about being a home owner is home improvements.
The following pages are from one of my home improvements that I had to take the responsibility of getting taken care of. This is one of the home improvement I think all home owners dread. The failing leach bed!!

This kind of job is something that I would never try to do myself.

So....I called in the experts! Summit Excavating.
