Septic Tank Life Lessons - The Bright Side

in #homesteading6 years ago


Hey guys! It's been a busy month with homeschooling, 3 kids playing soccer, grandparents visiting and prepping the homestead for winter. Each year we take on a few new projects to improve the property and right now we are clearing some large trees and stumps so that we can install some more fencing. In the process, one of the tractors accidentally dug up one of our leach lines. Inconvenient as this was, the bright side is that we realized that particular part of the line is not working properly. Had the line not been broken, we wouldn't have known until the problem became much worse. Sometimes little inconveniences and hassles can actually be a gift. It's all about perspective, right?

Have you had a situation like this? Where a problem turned out to be a positive thing?

I chose @Crowbarmama as a handle because I believe in doing the best you can with what you have on hand. The crowbar is a multi-purpose tool. You’ll notice my photography is a bit rough, my grammar is not the most polished, but as a homeschooling, homesteading mama of 4, if I waited to take my photos until the light was perfect or re-edited my posts a 5th time ( I shoot for 3 drafts), I would never get a post out!

Don’t sweat the small stuff, just Crowbar it!
