While we were out at the cottage working, two essential tasks were accomplished at the house. First and most importantly, the septic system was pumped out. That is a story all it self. The system is working just fine, but at dinner the other night, Mary asked Ken when his septic system was last pumped our, because she knew a lot of people will soon be coming to visit. Of course, Ken reported that we have never done anything to the system, in fact he did not even know when the tank was located. A group vote was held and decided that we needed to get it pumped out. That was on Wednesday night. First Everitt came to tell us the location of the tank. Then George came to remove the part of the deck right over the tank. When the deck was built, he cleverly made sure that the part of the deck over the tank was not attached to anything else, so it was easily removed. Then he dug all the dirt from the tank to find the cap. So today the Company that pumps out septic systems arrived this morning and completed their task. We are ready.
The other task completed was to install a part to one of the garage doors. The door works just fine, except right at the bottom one side of the door does not come flush with the floor. This is not satisfactory, so now it is fixed. Meanwhile, at the cottage, Ken and Vinal put the raft in the water and pulled it out to position. Then they inatalled the ladders,and one small triangle shaped piece of the dock. Now the cottage is ready for the season. I swam for the first time this year. The weather was perfect. Blue sky, bright sun, white clouds. Perfect.
