Well...I'm a failure...had my septic line inspection today and I failed. 140 feet of 4" PVC, 3 cleanouts, two at the house and one at the shop and a 24 hour leak test all went fine except for one (yes ONE) fitting at the septic tank and he failed me. I used a tee instead of a sweep and he failed me. Apparently. poop can't make a hard left turn into the septic tank...who knew. Following some discussion with the inspector, he convinced me that I would have problems with effluent build-up at the tee so I relented and agreed to buy a 90 degree sweep to replace the tee and off he went to formally tell the world that I failed.
I could dwell on the outcome but since I've built one and a half more airplanes than I have designed and installed a septic line system and the inspector has never built any airplanes I figured I was still ahead of the game...at least in my little brain.
