Septic Tank and Fever

Today was a total bust. Gracie has been running a temperature since Saturday after the swim meet against Galax. She has been sleeping a lot and shivering, then sweating. Hopefully, this won't last much longer. Poor little girl, she is going to miss the meet tomorrow night.

Oh and the septic tank? Nasty, nasty, gross, PU...The filter, which is intended to keep the septic field clean, got completely clogged up and we discovered the wet grass above the tank on Friday. After calling the septic guy several time, I finally located the cell phone number yesterday. He arrived this morning to pump out the 1000 gallon tank and clean the filter. Of course we tried to get to the filter but after getting 3 feet of dirt off the lid the pressure of the water pushed the lid up and all the liquid stuff filled the hole.

So my advice to anyone who has a septic tank with a filter would be: every year go and pull out the filter and clean it off.
