RE: Apocalyptic Homesteading (Day 1176)

I am wishing for some dry weather. We got a few days this week, but the rain moved in last night and is only now beginning to move out. I'm tired of things being soggy, and all of this water does bad things to our septic.

Hopefully your neighbors are just clearing a small spot for themselves and not a big area for agriculture or housing developments or anything crazy like that!

What happens with the septic exactly?

If your septic tank has a concrete lid it may just need new 'tar rope' to create a new seal on it. Most of the time that is why the older ones get water in them. Otherwise the tank may need to be pumped out and possibly patched due to roots breaking it.

Yeah, I am hoping they are just expanding some. Thankfully there is no chance of a housing development going in. Everything here is zoned for agricultural use but I doubt that is what they are up to.
