If your pet could talk, what would be the first thing it says?
….followed by, Cat-Moooooommmmm. Cat-Daaaaaaaaddddd. The coffee maker’s making noise. Get up. Get up! They’d then complain about the litterbox not being cleaned up to pristine condition.
SEPTIC SYSTEM UPDATE — SEPTEMBER 28, 2026.
Yes, click on the tile to see additional details.
TS worked like a fiend and removed all the deep rooted saplings, boulders, and weeds off the top of our leach (AKA diffusion) field on our septic system. Goetz Contracting came by last week and staked out where the entire system’s located. I added orange flares to those stakes. It’s NOT what I expected. TS has had a better handle on what was where. We only have stages 1, 2, and 3 as discrete chambers. Stage 4 is an elevated mound of sand, pipes, gravel, topped with whatever topsoil was handy. Effluent is masticated and pumped from chamber 4 up to a buried junction box. That field south of the mound? It’s just a layer of sand with un-screened topsoil on top of it. If the mound gets saturated with fluid, the field will wick it away from the pipes (and that south field’s on a very slight down-hill grade).
