The last couple of weeks have been very trying around our home. Our septic tank needed to be emptied, and then it decided to backwash into our utility tubs in the basement. Oh sh--. I was to be the hero and decided to clean the pipe from the house to the tank. After three sets of clothes getting soiled, I thought that I had it all cleaned out. Next our washer died, and we started to look for a used one. The next day Karen went down into the basement to check on things and there we go again, more backwash. So for over a week, we were camping, not using water, and going over to the Courtney's to do our laundry. Thanks Annette!
I found a larger snake and started all over again. You push the snake into the 4 inch PVC pipe that connects the house to the tank. There was a blockage so I just kept pushing, and pushing, and pushing, and finally it broke free. I cannot tell you how happy I was to accomplish this task. Two nights ago we went down stairs and started cleaning up all of the mess.
I feel like we had a great breakthrough. Total price- $450.00. It could have been worse, and money is so tight right now. I am thankful that God has given me some skills to do maintenance around the house. I am also very thankful for all of my friends that are there for me. Hope your week is going good for you. Blessings, Van
