[Homestead] Septic Rant

Well, it has something to do with contract law and date of possession which 
give us until the end of August to sue.  So, I'm downloading the papers to 
file on Monday and I've downloaded all the stuff that says how long it 
should be between pumpings AND all the FDA stuff (they have a whole section) 
and each state has a university or two that has stuff on it.  I figure it's 
off to court we go and I'll drown the nice brothers in paperwork!

I haven't found out who, if any, licensing agencies there are but that will 
be Monday.

I mean, I started out living in the boonies with septics and my Dad and 
Grampa pounded into us the right ways to take care of a septic and that's 
why the kidlets and DH call me the Septic Nazi <g>  Which makes it doubly 
irritating when you take good care of something and it fails because of 
someone else.  They are so lucky they weren't around when we found out we'd 
have to crawl under the house and snake the blooming thing!  I was seriously 
considering the 3 S's! <g>
