A few things have happened since my last post six weeks ago. First and biggest change is that the old house is now a home. Yep, I have a new handyman who will be fixing up the house while he and his lady friend are living there. It has a bit of a different vibe now when I go there. It is now someones home.
In exchange for living there, I will be receiving labor on the tasks of finishing up the house. I had Ralph run a new water mainline through the basement and to the boiler & the new water heater. Meanwhile, my handyman( I have to check with him to see if he minds if I use his name publicly) ran new hot & cold water lines up to the 2nd floor bathroom. I'll photograph all the new plumbing next week and post it up here.
The bathroom was fully functional for two days until a backup occurred in the drain pipes. I guess as cousin Eddie Griswald would say: "The shitters full!" So today I had to locate and dig out the septic tank. On Monday the big poop truck is supposed to suck it clean. I'll leave you with a few pics of the tank after I dug it out but before I opened the lid (I'll spare you from that sight).
