Subject: Re: May 23, 2018 by TommyT-Bone on 2018/5/23 17:45:07 Had an 80 y/o old Homestead home builder operating a backhoe telling us about all the old timers. Many of them now dead. I knew many of them. From the seat of the back hoe he called to me and my 57 y/o guy that's working on the shed " You young punks don't know what the hell your doing here. These holes are to damned big. The holes are the size requested by the manufacturer. He went on to tell us the county has a law requiring sand to be in all the holes as a base and surrounding outflow pipes. He said that's because one of the guys uptown had a brother in law that owned a silica sand pit. He said "I've dug up a thousand drain fields because the pipes were all full of sand and wouldn't work anymore. That's a bunch of bullshit. You should be using rock." I love these old salty dogs. They all have some great stories to tell. Not meaning Gris. He's just a salty dog with great stories to tell. .  |
