hear me ROAR!
If you live in this area, you know that today is a TOTAL bonus day weatherwise. It's currently 59 and SUNNY!! I just went and got the mail in a t-shirt. Hallelujah! I needed a day like this so bad.
Anyway, not one to waste a beautiful day and currently non-frozen ground, I grabbed me up a shovel and started digging in the backyard. (Liam was napping and the kids were right in the playroom looking out on me with the screen door open for all you safety nuts) We are having our septic tank cleaned tomorrow and they said it would cost $75/ft. to dig and find the lid for the tank. I didn't actually KNOW where the tank was located, but read a few good clues online... and after doing a little sleuthing, a digging I went. Found the tank itself right away, but it took a couple feet of clearing to actually find the lid, and then clear all around that. As I was digging, Casey was outside with me, and I started smelling something on the odoriferous side. I promptly scolded Casey, "you stinky doggie, I must've stepped in one of your deposits." He gave me sad eyes and sulked away. And then it dawned on me... I'm digging up my SEPTIC lid, not taking a tour through the botanical gardens. I apologized to the Case.
At any rate, 1 hour and some wicked muddy boots later, I have a hole in my yard and an exposed septic lid! All they'll have to do tomorrow is pry that baby off and let the septic vacuum rip. Something tells me I might have to light a few candles inside...
