They just arrived this morning to pump out my septic. It has not been done in a very long time. Before they started they had to warn me that they’re running into something quite unexpected when they’re pumping tanks right now. There has been so much rain coming down. They are finding that as they pump out the tanks and mine is 1000 gallons, the tanks are actually breaking free and floating above the bracing because of all the water! I am praying that doesn’t happen because that means that I would have no septic on my property that was working. He did say that they’ve figured out that after they’re done if the tank is floating. I have to come in the house and run a bunch of water back into the tank  to hopefully submerge it back to where it belongs. He said he just had to warn me that this was a possibility. Let’s hope it’s a possibility that doesn’t happen.

The cats have all scrambled once he set up his truck in the front and started the job. Most of the cats right now are in the Haybarn on the rafters. I guess that’s where they feel the safest. I certainly hope that my tank stays grounded. I hope it doesn’t decide to just float away and join the navy.

Well the job is over and it went well. My septic tank did not decide to float down the highway. It stayed firmly in place and all is well. But I have to admit I was a little bit fearful after they told me everything that could happen. I’m just glad nothing did
