You will need:  Backhoe Laser transit and grade pole 4" Sch. 40 PVC pipe(and fittings if needed) 4" ASTM D2729 perforated pipe 4"ASTM D3034 pipe and fittings 4" Sch. 40 vent caps and test caps PVC primer and glue Saw (either hand saw or cordless reciprocating saw) Hammer drill and bits(to go through wall if necessary) Hydraulic cement (to seal around pipe if going through wall) Shovel Inch-and-a-half washed stone (quantity depends on system size) Tape measures (regular and also at least a 100' tape) Septic fabric (cut roll to 3' long or so) Septic tank and risers (concrete, or plastic if allowed) Con-Seal (for concrete) or silicone caulk (for plastic) to seal risers Septic filter (ex. Zoeller 170 or similar) if required. distribution box (either concrete, or plastic, if running more than two laterals.) Excavate to at least 2 feet deep and drill a hole through the wall, or go deeper and go under the footing, whichever is desired, or necessary. Plan for the flow to go downhill from here, as this is exactly what a gravity fed system is all about. It does not use a mechanical means other than gravity to discharge the waste from the tank to the drain field. Pipe 4" Sch. 40 going a foot through the wall or under the footing, and to a minimum of five feet outside the building toward the tank. Set it level where it's going through the wall or under the footing, and from there run with about an 1/8" per foot of pitch (slope) toward the septic tank. Go further or all the way into the tank if required. If not, switch to 4" 3034 with the appropriate adapter and pipe toward the tank with 3034.  Be sure to put a test cap on the end going into the building. If going through the wall, seal around the hole with hydraulic cement, inside and out. Don't run too much pitch going out to the tank. If there's too much, the water runs away faster than the solids, and the solids may get left in the pipe. Also, there may not be enough pitch to get to the drain field, depending on the depth your drain field is, and how close it will be to the outlet of the tank. Use the laser transit and "shoot" the top of the pipe going out to the tank. Measure the distance from the top of the inlet, to the bottom of the tank. Add this (go up on the grade pole) plus 1 1/2" to the number you shot off the top of the pipe.  The grade pole is now set to the depth that you need. Proceed to use this to excavate the hole to the appropriate depth. Lay out and excavate your leech field as it has been determined by the test done in the permit process. When laying out and excavating, remember to maintain a positive flow between the tank and the drain field. This is required to hold the pipe steady. See your local health requirements for the size of embedment needed and the size of gravel. The perforated pipe in a gravity drain field has no slope end to end and has capped ends. All areas depending on the rules of the local health department will require a special filter fabric, newspaper, four inches of straw or untreated building paper to cover the drain rock before backfilling.

One-sentence summary -- Assemble the equipment and tools needed for excavation. Find where you want to go into the building relative to where you want to place the septic tank. Excavate a hole large enough to set the concrete aerobic tank below ground. Place (in most jurisdictions) "inch-and-a-half washed drain rock" from a nearby gravel pit around the pipe. Cover up the pipe and tank once you have a green tag from the health inspector.


Your analysis generally depends on whether your approach is qualitative, quantitative, or a mixture of the two. If you're using a quantitative approach, you may be using statistical analysis. With a qualitative approach, state what theoretical perspective or philosophy you're using. Depending on your research questions, you may be mixing quantitative and qualitative analysis – just as you could potentially use both approaches. For example, you might do a statistical analysis, and then interpret those statistics through a particular theoretical lens. Ultimately, your overall methodology should be capable of producing answers to your research questions. If it isn't well-suited, you need to either adjust your methodology or reframe your research question. For example, suppose you're researching the effect of college education on family farms in rural America. While you could do interviews of college-educated people who grew up on a family farm, that would not give you a picture of the overall effect. A quantitative approach and statistical analysis would give you a bigger picture. Relate your methodology back to your original research questions and present a proposed outcome based on your analysis. Describe specifically what your findings will reveal about your research questions.  If in answering your research questions, your findings have raised other questions that may require further research, state these briefly. You can also include here any limitations to your methods, or questions that weren't answered through your research. You may be able to transfer your findings to other contexts, or generalize them to broader populations. Transferability can be difficult in social science research, particularly if you used a qualitative approach. Generalization is more typically used in quantitative research. If you have a well-designed sample, you can statistically apply your results to the larger population your sample belongs to.

One-sentence summary -- Describe how you analyzed your results. Explain how your analysis suits your research goals. Identify how your analysis answers your research questions. Assess whether your findings can be transferred or generalized.


While most shelter cats are mixed-breed, it is possible to find purebred cats at a shelter. Adopting a shelter cat also means it has been checked by a veterinarian and is often already spayed or neutered pre-adoption. This is one of the lowest costing options, and adopting a cat also gives them a second chance at life, which is a great cause. There are many organizations dedicated to rescuing cats and finding someone to adopt them. Some organizations take in any type of cat, while others are dedicated to rescuing specific breeds. Do some research online or contact your local animal shelter for suggestions, as they often work together. Many rescue groups don’t have an adopting fee and instead have a recommended “donation fee” that is relatively inexpensive. Be very wary of buying a cat from a pet store.  Many of these kittens come from animal mills, which focus on breeding as many cats as possible rather than safely breeding a few quality litters. These cats are often born with congenital abnormalities and raised in confined, crowded conditions, which can cause behavioral issues. They will also cost a lot more money than getting a cat from a shelter or rescue group, often costing hundreds of dollars. If you have a particular breed in mind, do some thorough research to find an accredited breeder with a great reputation.  Because purebred cats are also much more expensive (think hundreds, even thousands, of dollars), be sure to research median prices so you know whether or not you are paying an appropriate amount. It is important to first determine if the cat in question is in fact a stray cat; look for "lost" or "missing" fliers in your neighborhood, contact the local shelters, and take the cat to a veterinarian to check if it is microchipped.  If it is a stray, it is very important to take the cat to a veterinarian to be checked for diseases and to be spayed/neutered immediately.
