The next door neighbor is getting set up for a few cows, hopefully it wont be bad. There should be enough field to spread them out only 2 or 3 of them.

I have a friend from HS that bought his dads septic company. I remember going out and helping him one day (and only one day). It was the day he had to crawl down into the tank and I needed to spot him. I was not thrilled about sticking my head in the tank.only thing that even comes close to being as bad is having your septic cleaned out on a hot summer morning...

Did that once when my crap pump went bad, not good to do for sure.I have a friend from HS that bought his dads septic company. I remember going out and helping him one day (and only one day).

Yeah.. Thing is.. they don't cast an issue like that, since it's the last bone on your body.. I was hard headed.. After 2 weeks home, I started driving to my Store each day, with the left foot.. Then when I got there , I would prop it up on my desk, and bark out orders. I was a Parts Store owner for years. Can't say I've really had any trouble with it since, cept for maybe a little pain when its cold or wet out. Really did surprise me, how long it took for that to heal...Ouch, I can imagine the pain of that, not to mention how long it takes to heal. Have you ever had any problems with it since? Im thinking because I have flat feet that is part of the reason my arches broke.
Interesting, that you cant have anything hot. If you dont mind me asking, what is it that you have that you cant eat hot foods or even shower with hot water?
I was hanging out with my son on his job site and standing next to him as he cut a bunch of 26" 2x4's and saw dust was flying everywhere with the wind we had, well a chunk of saw dust lodged in my noise, I had problems of it bleeding on it's own if I sneezed, coughed or bent over, doc had to clean it out and cauterize two blood veins, never want to go threw that sergery again !!
dah... UGH! I remember being around at my moms house when they came to clean it out - I was 16 - my buddy and I were all "go ahead, open it up, we're cool - we can handle anything"... that lasted MAYBE 20 seconds.... we literally ran to get away from there!I have a friend from HS that bought his dads septic company.

oh boyI only work 3 miles away, but living in the cities I dont want to risk getting in an accident. Not to mention, my job is not a desk job. So I would be very very bored there!
That makes sense now! My wife had to have her nasal cavities opened up or something like that. She said it was some of the worst pain she has ever had. They just gave a local for the pain, which she said didnt even help. She can breath now though and doesnt sound like Darth Vader when she sleeps.![]()

that's cheap - ours was $400 last timeI have a sand mound system so there are three tanks, why they do it this way no idea why it has to be that way here, it all goes into the ground. I really do not complain about getting the system pumped out every 2 -3 years for $220 the last time.

Like this just one more tank I guess for semi solids? Really stupid if you ask me, part of our closing was to get a new septic system put in we had a old cesspool prob from the early 1900's since it was brick lined and in pa it is illegal to use so he had to put $20k in escro. The new system was $19500!a what?
3 tanks or 55 gal. drums hooked together. The solids settle out in the first drum the semi solids in the second and the near liquid in the third. The liquid is drained off the third into a seepage bed now days. Years ago it just drained into the ditch in front of your house. Many rural septic systems still work that way.a what?
No sold the day before!

That what they insist you put in here when your traditional system fails. People end up homeless over it.Like this just one more tank I guess for semi solids?

I built a system In The Central African Republic a few years back. It was for a Childrens Hospital and Orphanage..We formed in three side by side concrete tanks.Pretty cool, the way that system works.3 tanks or 55 gal. drums hooked together. The solids settle out in the first drum the semi solids in the secons and the near liquid in the third. The liquid is srained off the third into a seepage bed nowdays. Years ago it just drained into the ditch in front of your house. Many rural septic systems still work that way.
Three 1500 gallon concrete Tubes? The bottoms are on the soil.3 tanks or 55 gal. drums hooked together.

Thats sad, and a hell of a lot of money so I understand how that could happen.That what they insist you put in here when your traditional system fails. People end up homeless over it.
