Creek Crossing, Pulled Muscle, Vehicles & Septic!

It looks like Dave may have pulled a muscle last Saturday when he was working on the creek crossing. He is not sure, but he keeps experiencing pain when he moves a certain way. He is really hoping it won't keep him from working on it again this Saturday.

The nicer weather is coming. He really wants to be able to take his motorcycle to work. It will save us a lot in gas money and also leave me with a vehicle so that I can get to the library and park with our son once a week. He did say that he can find a way to get it across, but we cannot get the van across. I, too, hope that he can get the pipe in and slurry across it. It would be nice to be able to get the van across the creek, especially after grocery shopping!

We got a surprise tax return so we are trying to save everything we can from that to get a used vehicle so that we can sell the van. Selling the van would really help us out financially. We never intended to keep it when we took out a loan against it to put in our septic system. The plan was to sell the van and use the car, but then the car got totalled and we had no funds to replace it. We are trusting Yahweh to provide us with the right vehicle.

Speaking of septic systems...I do have some pics of ours going in. Hmmm...let me see what I can find!

Ahhh...here we go! Pictures of that necessity of life...the septic system!


Here is the wonderful tank where all the "stuff" goes.











These are the leach lines. For those unfamiliar with the process, the "stuff" slowly breaks down in the tank. When it gets to a certain level, it flows down into the leach lines and very slowly gets absorbed below the ground.









This is the view from the driveway going up to our pad where the RV is.
