Many of you commented that you were just as surprised by the floating cement septic tank as we were. We still don't know exactly how we are going to solve the problem, but we do believe it is something that can be resolved. Like I said yesterday, the engineer is looking at photos and going to give us a recommendation as to what we should do. The first thing Danny did yesterday was look around to see what had caused so much water to accumulate there. He noticed where the water had flowed down a hill, carving out a path, and assuring that more water would follow that path of least resistance. He immediately set the men to working on a temporary ditch that would allow the water from any future storms to flow into an area that would not create a problem.
We are currently in the season of tropical storms and hurricanes so we are likely to have a good bit more rain between now and the first couple weeks of October. We'll keep you posted on the solution for the floating cement boat!
On a grandparent note our two oldest grandchildren started school in Florida this week. Miranda is in the 4th grade, and Luke is starting 1st grade. Of course they went on Monday and then had Tuesday as a hurricane day. They didn't really experience any bad weather there in Ellenton where they live, but you have to be prepared for the uncertainty of a storm's path.
May the storms of life avoid you today!
