Unsticking a Sticky Situation

​Lawn Craters

​After returning from work, I noticed that, much to my dismay, there was still an RV 5 feet from the front of my house, and still attached to my septic drain pipe by a dump hose. I was overjoyed, however, when I walked to the other side and learned that the hose was no longer full. During the night the contents of the RV tank had slowly made its way into the depths of the septic tank where it belonged. Note to self: Make an appointment with a septic clean-out service.

It was about this time that my lawn-care guy drove by, and since I had a large white beacon in front of my house alerting everyone to "Look what I did!", he stopped to look. Neither of us spoke for a few minutes, then he said, "I'm not gonna ask how it got like that, but do you need help getting it out?"​ "Yes", I said. Nothing more to say.​

As deep as it was buried, I was surprised how easy it was to get it unstuck. Some long chains, and his 4 wheel drive pick-up truck and it came back out the same way it went in. Well, at least I now had empty waste tanks, and a plan to have an RV dump drain installed right next to the driveway.
