on most jobs, it figures out it costs me about $18 per l.f. of sewer/water ditch, including generator fuel, plus pump and hose rent. he does it all. babysits them, etc....and that would be for a 10-12 well job. one onesies, twosies....he gets $1500 to move in, and $2000 min. plus if we're doing a job that takes some time. he charges extra for gen fuel, hose, pump, and gen set rent. i feel he's very reasonable

What does your local municipalities require for bedding material. Ours requires what is called 2B, which is crushed stone which is 1" minus. The water runs right through it no problem. It is nice when you build roads and the soil conditions are too wet. The sewers will dry the roads out.
