Septic Cover

We weren't here last weekend because of Thanksgiving, and many of the leaves have fallen in the past two weeks.  The neighbour tells us last weekend was the peak of the fall colours, and we missed it.  But they still look pretty on the ground!

Pretty nice colours for such a dreary day!

Emptying the last of the oil, so we can dispose of the tank next weekend.

The septic cover arrives!  

We were missing a slab, so instead of replacing that we ordered a 4'x4' piece with a hatch.  Hopefully we'll never have to uncover the whole tank again!

Chris is a pro!  Perfectly aligned, first try.  
This was so quick and easy, but it was too good to be true...

 It had been raining a lot, and the truck sank into our soggy yard.   Try as we might, we couldn't get him free.  Fifteen pieces of lumber later, and we finally gave up.

He had to call for backup.  Cement truck to the rescue!  My nephews would have loved this.

The mess left behind.  Good thing we plan to landscape in the future.
