Buried Treasure

Yesterday the plumbers were here to replace our cast iron waste pipe with PVC and put in a cleanout. What no one expected to find was a septic tank since we were told we were on city sewage. So now we’re the proud owners of a septic tank, which as you can tell from the photos was full. The plumbers called a pumping service who pumped it out. They said we’re good for another seven years.

Gross-Out Alert: The guy in the photo on the right was eating sunflower seeds while standing over the open tank - ooga-booga!

Mmm, yummy.

Hurray, we have a cleanout!

After the tank was pumped out and the lid replaced, Lago and I went furniture shopping while the plumbers replaced the waste pipe. The trip turned out a little longer than expected because the furniture store did not have the sectional sofa we wanted on the showroom floor. It was at another store in the north end of town. We were glad we made the trip, because the sofa turned out to be exactly what we wanted and we also decided to go with a different color. So, we then drove back to the other store and placed our order. Everything should arrive by the first week in October.

Today is Sunday and football is back - Booyah!
