Septic fun...

I can't believe we're almost finished!
Just a few days ago, the Septic guy from Simply Septic was out on our land to place the tank and leachfield. In just one day, they dug a massive hole, and a few more massive trenches, and one looooong trench for the buried cable that we're going to need. I spent most of yesterday, and the day before that putting together the septic pipes to go from the house itself to the tank. Those are all my responsibility, and it's almost finished! Thank God, I hate being underneath that house...my neck hurts.

I still have to set up the water tanks, and I went and bought a jet pump and all the associated bits and pieces, pipes and hoses for the water delivery system. I still don't quite understand how it's supposed to work, but I'll figure it out!

I'm a little concerned about getting the electric installed in time. I think we might be without our main electricity for a short while until Fortis can install it, because I still don't have the money to pay them! I've got money coming, but it's going to take about a week, and we only have a month left anyway! That leaves three weeks after the money comes in. I still need to hook up the propane, but that should be relatively easy. I have the old pipes still, and I just need a pig tank on a trailer.

If we have to, I will move in without electric. We'll be using candles and batteries and flashlights, but I will make it work. I can rent a generator as well, and we'll keep our food cold on that, and cook on the woodstove. It'll be like camping! Except, not really.

Thank you Lord for all this working out.
