TURKEY, TURNING LEAVES, TARGETS and TANK PUMPING!

 

In our family, the fall is the "most wonderful time of the year."  After working out in the hot sun all summer, fall breezes are particularly delightful.  But fall also comes with rifle season, campfires, turning leaves and Thanksgiving -- all of which are highly anticipated in this home.  

You might even say we have unintentionally created our very own holiday with the on-set of deer season.  We take hunting very seriously...and I have the hanging heads of dead deer to prove it -- much to my home-decorating-agony!

What a world this family enjoys...pumping poop and hanging dead deer carcass on the wall! Aren't you jealous?


But I digress...


What do these changing season mean to you as a septic living homeowner?


Honestly?  Not much!


We still continue to pumping septic systems all year long.  Our only issue comes with the weather and being able to access the tank.  If you are a homeowner who lives on septic, your tank is likely in the back yard or a bit downhill away from the house -- most of them are.  What this means is that when we come to pump, our truck will have to drive on something that is NOT a driveway or road to gain access to your tank.  Therefore, fall rains, winter snows or ice make getting to the tank a little bit harder to do.  We just make sure that we note that when you call so we don't drive to your home on a day when the


ground is wet or soft.  We make sure the ground is dry or in later winter months...completely frozen (but not icy).


All the seasons in Nebraska give us a handful of issues when it comes to Mother Nature, but typically all can be easily dealt with in some way shape or form!  If you're in need of a septic tank pumping, go ahead and give us a call! (Remember, the industry standard on when to pump your tank is every 3-5 years based on activity level...i.e. how many people live in the home.  The more people who live in the house, the more frequently you need to be pumped!)

You are what you read? Really?

Do you agree with this statement?   “You are what you read.”   Prior to being a Pumper’s Wife I would have never really given this statement much thought…but now I can’t help but take it literally!!   You are what you read…if you read about fashion, you’re fashionable.   If you read about cooking, you’re a cook.   If you read about dogs you’re a…wait.   Let’s come back to this in a minute… When I taught science, I loved to read about the latest scientific discoveries…I still do.   I kinda think once a science teacher, always a science teacher…but I digress.     The age of the internet made reading these articles so easy.   As my students’ parents got to know me better, they would find great discoveries to share with me as well.   I especially liked reading anything relating to space or the oceans.   Though I am removed from the classroom now, I still have parents (and former students) who share articles they think I might like.   I LOVED the one I got last week from a parent about

TOILET "INJURIES"

Image
I know I have written much over the years about toilet paper and the problems it causes people with their septic system.  Today, I'd like to elaborate a bit on that -- it's kind of amazing what can get flushed down a toilet! When I was teaching middle school science, I used to post "funny facts" on my board every day.  I remember one fact that would always be on those "Fact lists" (or in "freaky fact" books kids would give me...) and it was this: The US estimates 40,000 injuries a year associated with toilets!  Of course teenagers always found this funny, -- what's so dangerous about a toilet that people are being injured by them??  But even now that I have left middle-school-dom, I'm seeing more why this is an issue....and it's really not people being dumb, it's just freaky or unfortunate events! So, the basic rule of thumb is only use toilet paper that is cheap and lesser ply.  All toilet paper brands are going to claim to be sep

WHEN I'M SIXTY-FOUR

Image
Did anyone else think you’d be 64 before your body started aching all over?  I sure did.  I never paired my 30s with pain.  I came across this little meme today and though I laughed, I also sighed… I don’t know about you, but this is what I feel like most days.  And as of today, I’m far from sixty four. Relating to this though, kind of irritated me.  I don’t want to be the frumpy, tired, grumpy adult that gets all negative about life whenever anyone asks, "How are you?".  I like to think of myself as the “glass is half full” kind of girl, but lately I feel like my glass is half empty… and has a crack in it. Lately, I find myself thinking back on my own childhood and early adult life and remember how easy it all seemed.  As a kid, my parents did all the worrying…all I had to do was wake up every day and breathe.   As a young adult, I didn’t have much, but I also didn’t worry much either.  (I mean, I could grocery shop using only a basket!!  A basket!!  You kno
