Our septic tank needs to be pumped... UGH! The toilet overflowed and when we plunged it, sewage came up in the sink. The toilet on the other end of the house almost overflowed at the same time. I do find it odd that there is no water or sewage coming up in the bathtubs though... weird.
Anyway, the landlord has to send someone out tomorrow to find the septic cap and dig it up and then they can come pump the tank on Friday. The owners of the house and the landlord have no clue where the septic cap is and we've never been able to find it. I can't even figure out where the leech field is. This means this tank probably hasn't been pumped in forever.
I sent DH to go buy paper plates and bowls. I hate using disposable stuff, but I'll be darned if I'm gonna wash the dishes for this huge family in a wash tub for 2 days if I don't have to.
Now to figure out where 6 kids and 2 adults are gonna go potty for two days.
I asked DH to pick up a hose at the store so we can greywater the washing machine for now. All our utility towels are wet and stinking from soaking up the mess in the bathroom and need to be washed. I can't wash them with the septic tank full, so running the water from the machine to the outside is the only way we can do it.
