Goodness they worked and worked digging the septic out. I did not realize you had to dig a septic out to pump it. We had a pipe in the top and they just pumped it but down here they want you to get a plat map, a locator and then dig it out before the septic man will even come. Then they charge $350.00 to pump it. Going to cost about 500 by the time they are done. What a pain and trying at this time of year to find people who have time to do any of it is hard. The population here is about 10 times what it is during the summer and all of it is septic.
Lucky for me that my friends know a guy that does work and since they are loyal customers of his and friends he dropped everything and came over and worked on my septic. They found it without a locator so that saved $50.00 and then they were lucky and found the two doors by just guessing and dug in the right place. Still going to cost over 100.00 by the time they are done but the septic pumper is suppose to be here at 9 this morning. Then they have to put the dirt back they dug out...GRRRRRRR. I am lucky and my poor landlord who is a sweetheart is very unlucky. The septic people will not even come until you have it all dug out. I like the way ours was in Madras, no digging, we put the drain field and septic in so we knew where it was. Thank God for my dad and his way of doing things cause we sure did not have this hassle. We got the one lid off and it is FULL! I am going to put some redix in the other septic tanks here that my landlord owns and run some water down them before I go home and hopefully that will keep them working right. They think part was caused by non-use and drying out for so long, plus not getting treated so hopefully that will save Wayne some money.
Hopefully by tonight we will have a working septic again..Everyone have a good day!
