Wise words from the man to whom I just wrote a $445 check....

[Kelli in TN]

After he finished pumping out not only my septic tank, but my field line too, he went over some basics with me. Use liquid laundry detergent, check toilets for leaks, etc.

 

But then he said not to worry too much about the system. Don't change toilet paper brands, don't jump all over the young lady responsible for all the little plastic tubes found in the lines......

 

His parting words were, and I quote, "Live life to the fullest, but have your system pumped every third year."

And if that isn't good advice for all of us, I don't know what is!! :001_smile: He sounds like a guy with a great sense of humor!!

I think I smell a new sig line in the works...pun fully intended!!!

Wouldn't you need to have that in his line of work?:lol:

[Peso]

indeed - I follow this advice myself...

 

Definitely a case of an ounce of prevention outweighing a pound of cure!

 

Have fun today!

Dang, i gotta tell DH they are charging too little :lol:

 

(they can't get more than $175~ for a pump out here, and they barely cover that in disposal fees and gas).

 

I'll have to agree - keep on doing it, puts food on my table these days!!! :D

My dh is a plumber and here are his wise words of advice (actually, just to me, and said not too happily):

 

"Don't flush your torpedos down the toilet."

 

So women, listen up...who knew???? My mom never taught me that. :D

Oh I love that! And I agree, it would be a great sig line. I would steal it but I am happy with my glitter line.;)

:iagree: Very wise man...He should give out pens with this on it.

:lol::lol::lol: I guess when you deal with crap all day, a sense of humor is a necessity.

 

A plumber's slogan in our previous town was, "A straight flush beats a full house."

We have a septic, and I was just thinking of trying the powder soap since I can't get our laundry to smell good.

My mom didn't, that's for sure, but my mom-in-law let me know as soon as I visited the farm with future dh. She didn't want my visit spoiled by a clogged septic system.

 

Nothing goes into our septic but a bit of toilet paper. We don't use our kitchen disposal either.

 

I love the septic guy's line. I guess we are overdue...we've been in this house seven and a half years without a pump out.

This is a good sig line, too. Very true. ;)
