How Your Septic System Works

This video is from Canada, but it’s basically the same system as far as how it functions. As you can see, bacteria plays a major role in the operation of your septic system. For this reason you want to avoid putting chemicals or bleach down your drains. The bacteria can not survive contact with these materials and if you kill the hardworking bacteria the system will no longer function.

A great video by “This Old House” TV show further illustrates how your septic system works and what happens if you put the wrong things into the system.

Transform Your Patio

This girl is very creative. She gives you some good ideas you might be able to use at your house. I really like this but at my house I’d need a whole lot of citronella candles to be out at night watching a movie.

Change Your Bathroom Vanity

A new vanity can make a big change in your bathroom. Most of the newer vanities are higher than the older ones so take good measurements and note how high your electrical receptacle and any other obstacles are so you buy the correct vanity. Also, if the vanity has drawers, consider how your plumbing is going to work out with that configuration. It’s a good idea to write all those dimensions down and take it with you. The sales associate should be able to help you select the right one.
