To set your mind slightly at ease, the first septic guy that came out here was a disaster. He insisted that a couple of huge climbers near the tank had to be moved (by me, of course) and then he wanted to demolish the deck because he still couldn't find the "second compartment." There was no second compartment. I could have told him that from the start, but he must have regarded me as a stupid woman who didn't know anything about septic tanks. I have an old tank with only one compartment. When he told me how much trouble he was having finding the second one, I fired him on the spot and hired a new guy, who did a great job.
