The weekend of all work and no fun....

As I posted not quite 3 weeks ago...we had to have our septic tank pumped (I know, not a pretty topic, but hey...I live in Arkansas....and I don't live in town...)...when we got it pumped....the guy told us our lateral lines were clogged....sooo roll ahead to this weekend...and we've accumulated enough water in our 1,000 gallon tank to have it start coming out the lid....

So The Man's brothers, who he affectionately calls Tomas and Charcoal...LOL....came over and dug all around the tank trying to find the line....which was off center and on the right....and it was our neighbor who actually found it.....

Our yard looked like this...
yes, even the kids were working (their choice).....they owe the Man some money and were trying to work it off....and see those trees in the background....yeah, guess where the line runs?....can you say buh-bye trees...

The Man wasn't feeling very well, so he didn't do anything but point and sit... (of course, given his circumstances, he's not supposed to do stuff anyway)....

Did I mention that Tomas and Charcoal are twins?....yes, they are...identical too...it's always interesting when you get them together....

They found a busted pipe with roots growing through it...so hopefully that was our problem and it's fixed now...otherwise we will be forking over some serious money to get our lines replaced....

oh yes....here is Charcoal doing his best Bret Michaels impersonation....


Hope your weekend was more fun than ours....and a big THANK YOU to my BILs for their help....
