Well, not really but it sure looks like we are around here with all the dirt piles everywhere. Actually we got a new septic system put in. OH HAPPY DAY! It's been super crazy around here the last few days and I'm so glad it's done (well almost). No more worries about flushing and running the water too much. Unfortunately everything will look the same as you see in the pictures until the inspector comes out and passes the system. Then we get to wait for the backhoe man to come back and fill in everything he dug out that could be at least 2 weeks. We have 4 trenches dug at 100 ft each & about 4 1/2 ft.deep, and now in our back yard we are sporting a new 1,000 gal septic tank. And to top it all off we had to tear apart our laundry room at the same time so we could tie the washing machine drain line into the septic line. So I have 2 nice LARGE holes cut, one in the floor and the other in the wall. Trust me my laundry room has seen better days. Sigh... I hope it gets put back together soon. Anyway this is what we have been up to for the past few. Sorry it's nothing thrilling but it's total good new for us! Now if only I could keep the kids out of all that dirt.
So that's what getting a new septic system looks like? :)
ReplyDeleteOh man... our back yard is in shambles and I HATE the dirt! so I know the feeling, esp when 4 (almost 5:)) kids are in it all the time! Hopefully all is put back together soon...
ReplyDeleteBTW I'm using CS3... and I love ACTIONS! which ones are you using? I love the totally RAD and the itty bitty. The REAL black and white from totally RAD is my FAV BW to use! Now if i could find more time to play with it!
