Rural properties have more than their fair share of dirty jobs and not being on mains sewage means that you have to have more than a passing acquaintance with the workings of a septic system.

Which reminds me that recently a very nice man from Roto Router told me never to use Charmin toilet tissue as it can block a septic system and cause real problems. I couldn't help but pass on this piece of information to Proctor and Gamble the makers of Charmin toilet tissue. I didn't expect to hear anymore but today I did receive a reply thanking me for my interest and enclosing a 42 voucher off Charmin Toilet... I suspect they didn't actually read my email..oh well!

Our septic system is 14 years old and was not built with a flush out which is now mandatory with all new septic systems so we have had to retro fit one and providing you can find the pipe which comes out of the septic sand pit easily then the rest really is a piece of cake....so to speak!
