It's just part of your apprenticeship for culshie-hood. Next: getting your septic tank desludged

just kidding, keep trying to be clever.


My minor complaint is i just got a thing in the post saying they're gonna cut the power for a day. Pricks.

It'll go later than they say and probably come back sooner. A pain in the arse if you're trying to run a business from the sticks.

It happened three times to me last year in the city!


but yeah, I have an entire plan for the septic tank sadly. Bye bye savings but it's gotta be done.

Top tip: don't buy a klargester tank

Top tip: don't buy a klargester tank

Why?

We have one. Two problems - first, I don't think it does a very good job. We have the tank which drains into a percolation area, which ultimately drains into a ditch. There's been no frogspawn downstream of the tank since we moved in, and there used to be before (and there's still frogspawn upstream). Second, it keeps clogging up - it's not that difficult unclog it, but still it's a nasty job

 

[Lili Marlene]

bleurgh.

 

[egg_]

Uh oh. Have you already bought one?

 

[Lili Marlene]

No! Just bleurgh at the grossness.

Wait till you start needing to rod stuff

I had to get a guy out to fix ours as I was fed up unblocking it every 5 weeks or so. It too wasn't percolating properly. I'm not sure what he did exactly, but he cleared it out and added a whole new length of pipe and it appears to have done the job.

Haha yeah, especially when you're too cheap to buy rods, and are shoving a length of half-inch pipe down instead, and it flicks up and sprays you with shite

(I've learned my lesson and bought rods since)

They're like the tuner pedal of rural home ownership equipment, annoyingly boring but an utterly necessary investment.

I love you guys talking shite.

That is, oddly, a minor complaint.

Music reminds people of things and those things colour that music for life for people and it FASCINATES me because its just a bunch of neatly arranged air.

All of your experiences are just fizzy interactions within the organised meat packed into your skull.

You mean you didn't go with "especially when you're too cheap to buy rods, and are shoving a length of half-inch pipe down instead, and it flicks up and sprays you with shite"???
