Good news and Bad news

The good news is that, after two and a half years, we finally figured out where the leach lines are for the septic system!

More good news is that we've got three holes dug for the footers and piers, and are ready to pour concrete.

The bad news is...

that the leach lines are...

right where the piers go.

Gah.

I'll go kiss my babies as soon as I've washed my hands. *shudder*

I might need a translator for all that.

Well, it means that, for whatever reason, the people who built this place thought they should run the drainage lines right under the balcony. And when we dug the holes to pour the concrete for the new balcony, we found the pipes, unleased a *lovely* aroma, and found disturbingly damp soil. *sigh* But, the previous concrete piers are right there, too, so ... I don't know. I'm tired of thinking about it, to be honest. *sigh* It'll be okay. Zorak took it all much better than I did! LOL!

They put them *there*?? Yeesh. Why on earth would they put them right up smack next to the house when they had all that space around the house? The list of bizarre things having to do with that house just never ends, does it. :-D

But hey, like you said, at least you know where your leach lines are!
