Holy cow!<br /><br />We're on septic, and we have ours pumped about every five years (there are five of us in the house -- soon to be a surprise sixth!) ... and I have always been petrified of a septic backup. <br /><br />I'm from Atlanta (we were actually just there this weekend) but have lived in Birmingham for 17 years now, and I'm new to your blog. We have three boys, ages 8, 6 and almost-3. Just wanted to say hello!Katherine @ Grass Stainshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01258123193553569060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-2199652519100250572011-02-08T23:22:00.554-05:002011-02-08T23:22:00.554-05:00Oh Paige,

At the time I did everything I could to fix it, and later was disappointed in myself that I hadn't taken it to God first. God brought us through even though I had forgotten to put him first. Another practical suggestion...our septic tank was found in our garage...strange but true. There was one opening that we found and to find the other tank openings we followed a straight line, had a friend saw through the concrete and then we started digging. We found the other two lids this way!! And we only had to pay to put risers on the lids and have the concrete replaced over the two small sections. Instead of having the entire garage dug up and paying the septic guys to do it.Emily Znoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-23801250388179752532011-02-07T14:33:34.680-05:002011-02-07T14:33:34.680-05:00i picked a good day for a visit!!! :))

When I hafta deal with this kind of stuff, I try to remember God knew this would happen before He set the world in motion, He cares about you and since He has plans for those who love Him, He knows what the solution for this is.

They tell you the no flush deal but people do it anyway. The biggest problem is flushing chemicals because it disrupts the whole spetic ecosystem... Yes, they come out with the truck and suck it all out and it is usually about $800 or so ...where we live. There are some legal remedies if they have to take off the porch...because the disclosure was inaccurate. <br /><br />Crossing my fingers it does not come to that...Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08899596172727294741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16518856.post-70291350716604200862011-02-07T11:27:13.382-05:002011-02-07T11:27:13.382-05:00Oh man...so sorry Paige!
