This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

You should call me....the double wide has a septic and well by irishguard78

The Doofi and I have been pooping in a septic system for years. 32 to be exact, and 20 at the double wide.

Is is a mound system, holding tank or leach bed? Ask how old the septic system is....ask whether it’s had trouble. If it’s more than 20 years old, insist on having it tested.

Ask whether they’ve had the water tested and if you can see the results. Ask how deep the well is. You want a deep fucker in case the water table gets hunky. Ask when the last time the impeller pump was replaced. Ask about the bladder inside the house and how old it is.

Oh and ask if they’ve done any sort of radiation/radon test on the water.

I’m perfectly happy with the septic (we have a mound system outside the double wide) system and our well.
