    Some food for thought .. my grandparents have lived in their home for about 35 years with a septic system. Every month my grandfather religiously flushed 2 tablespoons of yeast down the toilet to help breakdown the waste. About 10 years ago (25 years of use) he had a company come pump out the tank and the guy couldn’t believe that it had never been pumped prior. He wound up calling my grandfather a liar (not a good idea lol) and wound up leaving without pumping anything. He attributes it to the addition of the yeast. Just thought I’d throw that out there if anyone else had heard of something similar and to see if you’d want to do the same. Great video anyway! Thanks

    Thank you so much for this content on septic tanks. Also I appreciate all of the questions you asked the contractor because naive ppl like me who has no clue or no experience with septic in my life needed to know. Everything I've been wondering has been answered in these couple of videos on septic. The real live videos makes it easier to grasp. This was truly amazing. They were very friendly and professional contractors.

    We had similar KW in our fuel truck fleet. Some had Paccard some had the ISX but I wouldn’t give up my Pete with a CAT. The KW were often in limp mode, in the shop or at the dealer having the DPF worked on. My Pete didn’t have any of that and the oil was much cleaner. The new trucks dirtied the oil the first day.
    I bet that 880 had dual steering boxes.

    Nice. We were going to put a 800 gallon tank and 250 feet of runs. Talked to inspector when he came to look at planned site and ended up changing to 2000 gallon tank and 500 feet of runs. Wasn't much more in material and we dug everything ourselves so worth it in the end.

    Just finished extending an RV clean out from the main line running to my septic tank 140 ft over to my pole barn where I park my fifth wheel. I did it all myself and can really appreciate what they just did. I also added a second clean out for visitors to use. This is at my farm and we don't live there. Now if we care to we can stay in our RV with all the conveniences of home. Really liked the video.

    Oh how I wish I could get about four truck loads of your dirt. I live in Oregon, six miles from the Columbia River and about 25 minutes from Mt. Hood, so I have no soil I have ROCK. The only thing that likes to grow are fir trees, oak trees and wild blue berries. I hate the ground for growing a garden and grass but love the trees and especially the wild blue berries. 💙💙💚💚
