The trouble with old farmhouses


A couple of weeks ago, Matt discovered that the faucet had started leaking cold water underneath. Late last week, he replaced the fixture.
That evening, a friend visiting asked, "is it normal for the toilet to flush so slowly?" Uh oh.
To skip the details, we had the septic tank pumped, a porta-potty delivered (for the party and for us), and we have been learning more than we ever wanted to know about the county's permitting process, competition between local septic-related companies, and the like. Luckily, Matt knows enough about the subject to save us lots of money in terms of troubleshooting... but we've agreed to leave the dirtiest work to the experts!
