Installing and Emptying a Septic Tank

After a lifetime of city living, it was wonderful to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet of the Outback. However, what wasn't so wonderful was the lack of a toilet. The farmhouse was not connected to the rest of the utility grid, so there wasn't any pipe to take away our waste.

I decided to start this blog to advise others about septic services.
