Update on the Septic job...

I realized I hadn't posted about the progress of the septic work. Well I'm happy to report that they are all done! I've never experienced such a smooth job as this one was. All the guys working on the place were nice, and competent, and got it all done with no hiccups! Amazing eh... I guess when you pay as much as we are for this, then they would serve us breakfast before getting started each morning and still get it done in time!!

Here is what our back lawn looks like now:

It's higher by about 3 feet, and much bigger because we cut down a bunch of trees. So all in all it's good. So when we though that maybe the main problem in the first place was that the septic field was shot, it turns out that there was no real field in the first place!! Whoever had installed the thing 34 years ago, put in the wrong pipes. So this was actually a good thing, because they had lots of room to lay the new field, a proper field in the limited amount of space we had.

Can someone recommend a child friendly restraint for this one??
