Sounds good - less than expected. I hope it goes smoothly. Meanwhile, do you have plumbing? I guess it will be off for part of the job.

Ha! We thought we had a clogged pipe and had the pipes cleaned. Nothing found. Probably the septic tank is not draining as fast as it should. So, the cleaning cost us, but at least we know what the problem is not. Tomorrow we get more info from an investigation of the tank. We had it drained within two years, but something is not good. Thought of you. 🙂

Our tank is good, but we need a new drain field. It's 50 years old and water gushed from the field back to the tank when the guy drained the tank to have a look. So effluent can go out of the tank, but very slowly because the drainage in the field is bad. We are okay with it, though it'll be a mess, I think. It looks like the diagnosis is done which I'm happy about.

Still waiting on the drain field for our septic problem. Recently the inspectors for that were moved in with health inspectors. So the wait for the permit went from 1 week to 6 weeks. Next week is the 6th week, so maybe some action soon. Meanwhile we are needing to keep the amount of water we discard to a minimum so that we don't fill the tank up before the work is done. It won't be terrible if we fill it. We'll just need to pay to have it pumped out again. So far we have done fine with the small inconvenience.

Inspector came as predicted in 6 weeks. Now the man who will do the job is waiting for the permit. He says that should come quickly. I'm hoping this week.

It looks like the permit is lost. The permitting place checked the database and our address does not show up. I was asked for the permit number, called the company that is to do the work. They applied for the permit. They did not have the number. Sweet mysteries of life. Someone is looking into it.

@ajlewis2 oh no. I hope this will be sorted out. It looks like a neverending story...

Ha! We waited and had searches done for the permit. After 4 months of this we cancelled the work request, because the permit office could not find the permit. We got a refund of our deposit. We called another person to do the job. Two weeks later he has the permit and will do the job the middle of next week. Bingo! We probably should not have been so patient, but people should probably have told us the truth of the matter sooner than they did. Ultimately we have a better price for the job. And we have learned how to conserve water and may even be in the habit.

@ajlewis2 so, after all, there’s something good coming out from all this
