Old houses.
As you know, sometimes I get some serious bouts of insomnia. I've been so sick lately, for months now, this happens a lot. Sometimes I just surf the web during the late nights, or listen to music, sometimes I watch movies, and sometimes I just flip through the channels on TV and see what's on.
One night I came upon some classic episodes of "This Old House" on PBS, which often come on in the middle of the night. I'm not a homeowner, but sometimes it's cool to watch these shows anyway. My dad used to watch it all the time. It's fun to think about what I would do if I were a homeowner, which I hope to be one day. I'm always looking at paint swatches and furniture, rugs, tvs, kitchen appliances for my dream kitchen etc.
There was this one episode where they had a backhoe digging out space for a new septic tank. The backhoe ran out of fuel, so they had to call for a refill. A truck with a fuel transfer tank came after they called for the refill, fueled up the backhoe, and they were able to finish the septic tank work. But the homeowner was freaking out for a while, until the septic tank was in.
They seriously should have tried for sewage lines. I can't remember why they didn't. Septic is just awful.
The home was gorgeous though, I just wish I could remember where it was. I wanna say it was in New England somewhere, most of the episodes are filmed up that way.

Septic IS just awful...it's what we have here, and what my parents had in their houses. I don't know if sewage lines are readily available everywhere....that might be why they had to go with septic.
