Silly, Silly Neophytes

Sometimes I just amaze myself by just how naive I can be! The weekend before last my husband and I planned on getting the septic done. He had Friday off, so we were going to knock it out in a weekend!

WAHAHAHAHA! Oh, no no no!

To start with, we ended up visiting the engineers Friday morning. (I had picked up the plans on Thursday--didn't even look at  them--and trotted up to the county building department. After dropping off a couple of sets for them to ok, I went home and looked at the plans--and almost had a heart attack.) So my husband and I figured we'd better talk to the engineers and find out what the heck they were thinking! Turns out they wern't completely crazy--there were changes made because Nevada is in an earthquake zone. They went through the plans page by page with us and showed us what everything means (oh, and they also added a few pages of "stuff" that we don't need!). Anyhow, we didn't get up to the lot until the afternoon. That kinda set the pace for the weekend.

Well, the good thing is I got to use an excavator. OOOOhhhh--fun!!! Yeah, that's right guys, I now know your secret. Heavy equipment is great fun!

So, I been diggin holes!

Yep, dat's right.

But done in one weekend--so, so clueless!
