Because we are so very rural out here, we do not have city
services which means no water and no sewer.
We rely on a well and a septic system instead. My father-in-law had an updated water tank
installed for our well, and our septic system was definitely in need of
updating. It likely was
installed over 70 years ago and was really too close to the well along with being too small and in the wrong spot entirely (right where we want to add on).
We had plans drawn up weeks ago and vetted several
installers/maintenance companies after getting referrals from other rural
dwelling friends. We have chosen Hurts
Waste Management from Ganada, Texas, to do our install. From what we have heard locally, they are the
ones to go with. They had hoped to get
the new system installed the week of Thanksgiving (our move-in week), but the
weather had other plans. It was
basically cold and rainy the entire time we were moving in and hoping for that
new system. It dried out within a week,
and the morning of December 2nd, the trucks arrived. As promised, they were in and out that very
day. I now have a modern system that can
handle a 3000 square foot house full of girls, large family parties, and a
future barndominium. They also left us a
nice, large pile of dirt that we used to level out our back pasture where our
horse stalls will be.
Check one more thing off the list. And write one more big check.
