I am sure glad that is done!

I woke up feeling almost like normal this morning.  Yesterday Vera had washed a load of clothes and the water backed up into the tub, so this morning, I decided to call around and get pumping the septic tank scheduled.  It turned out they were not busy and could do it today, so I scheduled it for after lunch, then I got my boots and raincoat on and started digging.  By the time Vera got home from bible study I had it all uncovered.

They arrived right at 1:00 just like they said they would and we got started.  It took about 2 hours to get it all pumped out as it was really thick (it had not been pumped in 32 years).  The guy that did it flies park flyers and had worked at the Fibre so we had lots to talk about.  Afterwards, I gave him a tour of the shop and it turns out he is interested in ham radio also.

Vera took all the pictures today, I am on the way to the shop for supplies.

I treated the drain field the way they suggested and I was done for the day.  Covering it will be some other day, or maybe James will help on Friday.  When I was done, I went in and enjoyed a long hot shower, a good way to end that job.
