    Those eccentric collars inside the spider box make it simple to set the grade on those lateral feeds. I’ve never had the luxury of using them. But have tussled with shimming and sealing instead.
    It makes sense to dig the outer walls first… there is a similar operation in woodworking. A square mortising chisel can be used to make rectangular slots. However if you don’t cut out the ends of the slot before cutting the middle out, the workpiece or the chisel will drift toward the void. Learned that on the first bedroom suite that I made. I spent more time squaring the ends of the mortises with a hand chisel, than I did cutting them with the machine!
    Boss man the install came out splendid!

I have a leach line trench @ 54" Deep, w/ 13" stone that would put my leach line at @ 48" deep, will I need to set my D box @ 48" deep as well or do I use 90ies off of the header lines to get down to the 48" deep leach lines?

      I agree, I want my tanks as far away from the house as possible. Don’t want the tank in the yard next to the house. Also in Texas you have to have risers extending 4” above grade with green lids on each tank/chamber and definitely don’t want those right in the way.
