Looks like Union Pacific was indeed the cause of this fire, again. Bastards better be paying for it.

got the blackwater tank pumped at the house yesterday 4,000 gallons in 3.5 months not bad. Total capacity is around 5500-6500 i think. That is the one drawback to our house, just a holding tank not a traditional septic system. So i have to get that tank pumped 3-4 times a year at about 300 dollars a pop

That's unique and expensive. No sewer where your at I take it...sewer taps average just under a grand, but then your totally done with the hassle.

Must be reason for no septic. I don't understand how they were able build there without a good perc test. I mean , no engineered field.. nothing.... just a holding tank ? Yea, that's different.

Surprised they got away with that. Here you would have to dig it out or install an engineered field on top of it. That still requires excavating for a new tank.

Huh, yea that's different, an extra expense as well.

Maybe it's due to your frost line being higher down there.

OK, so the flexible Bondo smells awful! It must have sulfur in it. Damn... I'm scarred in the lungs now.

How do you make sure you rid the cooling system of air on a 10th Gen F150, coolant has already been changed...

Is opening Degas lid after vehicle cool down enough ?
I noticed bubbles when opening lid slowly a couple days ago after vehicle sat for 20 mins.
