I never knew all of this went into building a house. I just though they dug a huge hole, ran some pipes, poured some concreate molded it and BAM you have a house.
It was an old house that was on the property when my grandfather bought it. He tore it down, and I knew where the house was located, but I had no idea that they just piled all of the crap into the hole and covered it over. But there is more to the story than that too.
We are running into steel sewer lines (they would have to be pre-1950 or so) and a whole bunch of other things, and you just can't go dump those over a hill like you can dirt. That makes cost go up, and it makes it take a lot more time to get things done.
