I was caching in Illinois – in the rain!
it’s bad enough you were in illinois… but in the rain too?! bummer.
You want misery?????
Misery is waking up in the morning to discover that your clean-out pipe on the septic tank is off because the water pushed it off!
Misery is coming home later after work and finding out that your septic system drain field is frozen!
Misery is being imformed there isn’t much that can be done but wait a month, maybe two, for it to thaw!
Misery is finding out the septic tank will now act as a “holding tank” and need to be pumped out periodically at $175 each time until field is again usable!
That IS MISERY!!!
Man, that really stinks! 😯

Misery is not knowing when to have it pumped and the overflow run into the lowest point in the house.

That does suck, in omro it was 55 every two weeks for a 2000 gallon tank, no field, no mound, just a tank.
Mathman, if you weren’t so full of CRAP, It wouldn’t be full!!!!!

Thanks for your sympathy Korpl!
I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist!!! Our field froze up at the cottage as well, but we were not up there all that much, so we didn’t have to pump it.. Sucks though, I feel for you…

There! Is that so hard? 😆
Nope not at all!!!
What’s a “clean out pipe”
I am ignorant to the architecture of a septic system.
Whatever it is, it sounds like it’s not a good idea to leave it off. Sorry about that, MM. You’ll have to find a hollow stump in the woods to use for a while. Oh, and NEVER hide a cache in it!

Hey that gives me an idea for a cache. Maybe I can put rsplash’s donated camo ammo can to good use!

Mathman, I feel your pain…you have my sympathy for your misery.
Hmmm…If one lives in the country, I have heard that it is possible to drop a sump pump on a chain into the second (greywater) tank and pump that water into the surrounding farmfields. Not that I have done this of course, just that I have heard that it’s a good temp solution until the field thaws. Obviously, if you’re in a rural subdivision, not so workable.
After all, most of the time your septic pumping truck drives down the road to the nearest farm field they have a contract with to spread on.
On the Left Side of the Road...@gotta run wrote:

No farm fields here. I am in a subdision with neighbors. It’s a lrage lot but I don’t want to spread the gray water around. The weird part of this whole situation is, village sewer and water is less than 1/2 mile away from us but they keep delaying the inevitible.
