When I finally bought a house and got a washer and dryer, I practically sang as I did laundry.<br /><br />Of course, the thrill is somewhat worn off, but whenever the basement floods and I have to make the trip to the Suds-o-mat, I remember how lucky I usually am!Mary Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14416798580398814009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-51055099243947210002009-05-06T07:54:00.000-05:002009-05-06T07:54:00.000-05:00That rain finally made it over here.

That's how they work! The bacteria in our waste turns our toilet into water and gas in an air less environment - under water.<br />Second point. The drain field on a septic is designed for a specific number of people, and equals a total of 120 gallons of water per person per twenty four hours.<br />If you exceed this amount of water, it cannot be expected to cope.<br />So, when you have visitors, don't do the washing - try to minimise the amount of water you use.<br />Or extend your drain field to accept more water.<br />Perry.PerryOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15317371359674251505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244310405074901666.post-15496529097068758342009-05-06T01:42:00.000-05:002009-05-06T01:42:00.000-05:00Ack-We are looking for property so we can move out...Ack-We are looking for property so we can move out of city sewer land and back to a septic tank.

Or, when you are expecting 20 people for a wedding shower in 1 hour and the bathtub in the guest bath fills up with sewage! This post reminded me of great septic tank times. And, not to forget, great laundry mat times.
