The Shit Hotel is now open for business

Last Friday we finally had our new septic put installed. No more worrying about Jonathan taking to long in the show or a toilet running, which would cause our old septic system to overflow.

Rick Brown started dropping equipment off around 0600 Friday morning but didn't actually start until 0730. We were only without a toilet, shower or sewer for about 3 hours, so that wasn't bad. I guess there isn't much to say about the installation and pictures speak louder than words!






Pumping out the old tank for the last time.......

After all the dirt was put back into place, machinery had left and workmen had gone home.......we had one hell of a mess on our hands. The digger dude had changed the pitch of our hill, so on Sunday, Joel installed a new retaining wall to house a new flower garden and hopefully will hide the cement lids of the septic.

Hope everyone is having a fabulous summer.

Check Back Often.......Check Back Soon

Joel, Amy and Jonathan
