There's a hooole in my bowl!

Hole dug. Tank found. Tomorrow we go on, starting early in the morning. Sunday we keep going. Monday, hopefully, we’ll be done.
What will happen next?

@stefano Condolences. Septic issues stink!

@stefano

Sounds good - less than expected. I hope it goes smoothly. Meanwhile, do you have plumbing? I guess it will be off for part of the job.

@ajlewis2 yes, we have, partially. One pipe is broken but the others are ok and the situation isn't that bad.
The good news is: I expected serious problems at the septic tank level. The bad news: if the septic tank isn't that bad, there must be something else. And we'll have to remove some plants I love.

@stefano @ajlewis2 hope remove means transplant?

@EF @ajlewis2 yes, we'll try. there's a (not low) probabilty that the plants broke the pipes and their roots followed the water. In that situation, the roots (or, at least, part of them) will be broken and I'm not sure they'll survive.
I'll try to make sure we can save them and I've already prepared a new place for them.

@stefano @ajlewis2 you may wish to hard prune them if you've lost some of the roots to reduce the greenery. Most thongs transplant with a bit of love, bit of food and water plus a bit of care. Warm and cool weather helps too. Good luck.
