Right now there is a lot next door to us being prepared for house construction and I am busy learning
SEPTIC TANK 101. When curiosity gets the better of me, I go out and wait until one of the workers looks free for a minute and I ask questions. My husband and I are going to enjoy the whole project - we go from window to window to outside (that’s me), to back porch but I’m the only one who asks questions.
Any experienced in the field here on FR, I’d love to hear from you...Our first experience seeing anything like it AND living in an uncivilized place like this that has septic tanks. HA!
