More good news..... Jerry called John and told him that we could put the entire system in our front yard ONLY and NOT have to tear up the whole back yard! Yahooooooo!! This is awesome!
Let me paint you a picture: Each leech bed, which by the way, if you are like me the word "leech bed" sounds scary and odd. So, let me explain it: This is a trench dug about 4 feet down and 2 feet wide, or the width of the backhoe bucket. It is filled about halfway with stone. Then a approx. 9" wide white tile with holes all through it is laid on top of this stone. There will be 620 ft. of this tile laid, in approx. 75 ft. increments across the front yard. Then, our septic tank box thing is in our back yard, so he'll only have to dig up a hole big enough for a 500 gallon overflow tank that will have a sump pump in it and alarm system incase the pump ever stops working.
Most people have fire alarms, but the Townsend family must also have a septic alarm...that's funny! I guess it's fair to say that we are full of poo!!! teeheee!
Jerry's exact words were "This is an industrial system. If this doesn't work for ya, then nuthin' will!" I love good ole down home honesty!
