Erin has been having kids to play with here. DJ, Michael’s son and Serenity, who is M’s niece. It’s been fun watching them play together, even with the age difference.
Yesterday I had to cut Rudy a very big check for ½ of the work done on the septic system. Normally he wouldn’t make such a request, but due to the enviro department’s interference, this job has taken much longer than planned. Damned Enviro Hippies!
Beth and company’s river cruise has been somewhat of a disaster, or at least in my opinion from her description. I think the group consists of about 8 people and right now the boat is parked in a cement company’s docking area. Sounds dreamy, right? I hope the rest of the trip is 110% guys.
Old Fartz today. I have to say that while there’s a lot of interesting people in the group, there’s also a lot of drama involved. All via email and none of it happens at the lunches, but the drama is just stupid.
More septic pics below.
Two backhoes moving tons of dirt. It’s amazing how much spare dirt I had lying around!After disconnecting the old septic drain field, they run a pipe to it to keep the new tanks running while they construct a new drain field.The new system, and updated one after the enviro department interfered, is a mound system. It should give us a 4 foot rise that we will plan with something to lessen the visual impact.After the enviro dept. stopped work on the trench and sand system, we had 4 trenches to fill and it seemed like the perfect place to bury the old septic tank and surrounding soil.If you enlarge the pictures (by clicking on them) you can see that the old tank was cinder block construction. Surprisingly the tank was still fairly tight and had no leaks. The top was massive and appeared to be one solid piece of concrete about 8 inches thick.
I am a husband, father, grandfather, friend, business owner, traveller, Harley rider, citizen, patriot, gun owner, politically eclectic person of strange personal habits. I support police, trust no politicians, and can argue any side of an argument just to amuse myself. People love me or hate me and those that are in-between don't know me.
