Some good news we now have septic permits and a well contract. Just waiting on the well to be drilled.

There's that! Hope it goes smoothly!

👍for venison in freezer. 👎For truck damage. Maybe you'll get enough to repair and keep it.

did the plumbing people mention keeping trees and shrubs away from the septic field and pipes? also they should mention that it's probably not a great idea to cover it up with decorations and pathways and gardens (like we did - oops...)...

looking good! not sure what creek rock was used for (or what it really was).

WOW! That’s a LOT of progress! And now you are living there!!!

When you requested the service did you specify that it was going to be a residence with a "shop" for working on your own equipment or something that would have justified the 200 amp service? Anything that you can use for an "argument" to get back some of the "commercial fee" charge? I would rant and rave a bit to see if they can be pushed into making some sort of concession to returning some of that overpayment....

really it never hurts to ask and if said no then try again by speaking to a supervisor.

just by asking i've gotten a few thousand $ worth over the years for various things. most recently was a massive screw up by me not looking at how many minutes Mom was using on the calling plan she had. i got the bill and it was almost $200. yes, she did use the time, there was no reason for her to be refunded but i still called to ask them what was up and then asked if some it could be credited back. got half of it back. then we changed her over to an unlimited plan - which is what we should have been on some time ago.
