    Greetings from Brittany France. We just had a new "fosse septique" system installed. The tank was the same design as yours, but in France the favoured method is to take the liquid from the tank into a filter bed. For our 1200 litre tank the filter bed had to be 5m square and 1.5m deep. 20 ronnes of washed sand went in first, covered with a membrane, then gravel up to the top of a matrix of 100mm plastic pipes. The whole thing then covered with soil and levelled. That cost us 10,000 euros - (14,500 Canadian dollars). We were lucky because the terrain allowed for a gravity flow from tank to filter bed 70 yards away. In a previous house we had to have a pump to pump the waste water uphill to the filter bed. That was 10,000 euros! Out of interest, tell us more about your filtration method. I've not seen that before. Very best wishes, Paul

      Yeah it probably does not pay for them to go way out to your house and press out a 25 or 30 foot piece. You probably could have went to them with your trailer and bought the one piece at their house or shop and then installed it yourself.

    Hi Katie and Greg. The snowfall was beautiful, it looked like wet snow. That was kind of an ugly day to be going that work outside but you two and the septic installers worked through it and got the job done. They did a very good job on all the dirt work and clean up IMO. I know your preference would have been to do it youself, but they did a great job and got it done in that day and it's now completed and behind you and checked off your list. The gutter and drain turned out good and I"m sure you are thankful to get that done. Steve is such a character, I sure like that little bugger 😉 Seeing you both working in the new shop was nice, you must be so glad and thankful to have it compled and have such a nice space to be working in now. It was pretty cool seeing you out there working the drone and getting the nice footage Katie. The property and surroundings look so nice, just beautiful. Have a blessed week and I'll see you both on the next one. Larry, Central Valley, Ca.

    If you don’t put chemicals or grease in your septic system and only use biodegradable soaps, you won’t have to worry about pumping the tank for years. I’ve had our tank pumped once in forty years and it didn’t really need it. But you have to make sure nothing goes in it that will kill the natural process breaking everything down. 😊
