Just spent a fortune on pressure washer and attachments - so bring on the next blockage! Did I really say that??? :) :)suejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072740351690646281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063789335725081371.post-90618349299498924542013-01-21T09:51:48.544+01:002013-01-21T09:51:48.544+01:00Let's hope that the vidangeur comes and is not...Let's hope that the vidangeur comes and is not inundated with other customers with sodden land and blockages.<br />When working, Him Indoors was often away from home when a crisis came, leaving me to dig out our Septic thing in Norfolk. Funnily enough, he was often around when neighbours required a practical hand!<br />Best wishes for a return to normal service.Lesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063789335725081371.post-35694560560068906742013-01-20T21:58:32.085+01:002013-01-20T21:58:32.085+01:00That Fly, is one of life's great mysteries.

Like printers breaking down at 5pm on a Friday evening when you have a report to get in the post and French websites saying something will arrive in 3 weeks, when everyone else delivers within an week. :) :)suejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072740351690646281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063789335725081371.post-39545222802005642262013-01-20T21:38:35.602+01:002013-01-20T21:38:35.602+01:00You have my sympathy...and why is it that septic t...You have my sympathy...and why is it that septic tanks only play up when <br />a there is a heatwave<br />or<br />b) it is pouring with rain.<br /><br />the fly in the webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04563871975125538755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063789335725081371.post-91351182541935263202013-01-20T19:29:29.465+01:002013-01-20T19:29:29.465+01:00Hi Janice, thanks for dropping by.

Or because yesterday's attempt to clear it has shifted something? Who knows. I hope you're right about the pressure washer. :) :)suejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072740351690646281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063789335725081371.post-86289276315167905652013-01-20T16:16:59.195+01:002013-01-20T16:16:59.195+01:00I feel for you,I really so, until 18 months ago, w...I feel for you,I really so, until 18 months ago, we had a septic tank in our house in the Yorkshire hills....I recall only too well, the gurgling, and our sign that all was not well, was the squelching sound as we stood on a manhole cover just outside the kitchen door. I am very impressed with your attempts to resolve the problem yourself. I'm sure the pressure washer will have been a brilliant investment....well done.

But we're fortunate. We do have "the facilities" up at the house, so with no showers, no washing machine and not much flushing in the cottage and we're managing not to make it worse until the vidangeur comes.suejhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04072740351690646281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3063789335725081371.post-21608141627712212412013-01-20T01:04:19.053+01:002013-01-20T01:04:19.053+01:00You have my deepest sympathy, Sue.

I do hope it gets sorted out soon and the rain eases off. <br /><br />We have a septic tank here in Wales as well as in France, so we know the sinking feeling when something goes wrong....Perpetuahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01214396019726161983noreply@blogger.com
