I'm toast. I think my septic system is done. It's 35 years old and it backed up and they couldn't find a clog... i'm screwed for 18K for a mound... It comes in 3's is right.
But, to the point. The guy that went INTO the tank is totally insane. If you're taller than 5"4' and weigh more than 120 pounds you won't fit, well he went in without breathing gear. And came out COVERED IN EXCREMENT. He had a huge piece of turd on his chin and he was talking to me... I was deciding as to whether to cry for me or laugh at him.
WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND CLIMBS DOWN INTO SEPTIC TANKS? WTF HAS TO BE YOUR MINDSET?
"Well Hon, I would like to marry you, you ravishing young gal... yes but Steve (the guys actual name) YOU SMELL LIKE POO and you have this brown growth on your chin..."
damn, that is SOOOOOOOOOO DISGUSTING.
He wore rubber boots and rubber pants with a "rain coat" type top. I offered to hose him off but he said no and started grabbing the poo covered clothes with his bare hands.... then shoved them in a bag.
he still had a huge turd stuck to the back of his pants, the back of his sweatshirt, his forehead and his chin.
I honestly would kill myself before I went into the cauldren of poo.
And the entire time the guy is talking to me like it's no big deal to be covered in exrement from head to toe.
Oh my gosh! This is the funniest thing I have read all day! Thanks! I would think the guy must have a screw loose to begin with.
I've wondered about things like that before. Say for instance, you want to be a doctor. There are dozens of specialty areas in medicine. What posesses someone to decide on proctology? To spend their entire career dealing with a$$holes. Most people try to avoid that.

"Steve" had told me to contact a state soil tester. So I left a voicemail.
When I told the guy that "steve" went into the tank without any respirators or anything of the sort he said to me "you have to be kidding me? People die in minutes in septic tanks !!!"
I told him I had a rope in the family room in the event I had to begrudgingly rope him and drag him out.
He actually told me : "If anyone in this business is stupid enough to go into the hole without a bottle and they die, you don't go in after them, you'll die too. It's cheaper to have one pumped out than two"...
Some people like whips and chains, some people favor leather outfits, this guy likes...
TOAST !!!!
Seriously, I wanted to film the guy but I don't have a camcorder. I was the most bizarre site i've ever seen.
I did pick up the guys ladder for him when I thought he would forget it. And when I put it down next to his truck I realized in horror the stupid move I had just made. I got a old and new poo ground into my left hand.
I honestly believe these people are gods. Not even crazy people could do this.
I guy I worked with did some of his own septic tank work once- he stuck his arm in the tank for some reason to remove a clog- scratched his arm and got a life threatening infection[:'(]
I normally travel up hwy 141 every weekend in the summer to go to Michigan. On the way there is a couple of buildings that I can loosely describe as a "pumping" service business. There is always an old honey wagon parked in front of one of the buildings. One time while driving past, Inoticed that the hatch at the back of the tank was open and a man was sticking his arm up to his shoulder into the tank while talking to another man. I don't know what kind of shiny object the man saw in the tank that he was digging for or what the two men were talking about, but I almost crashed my truck in shock after seeing what I did.

Seriously, fng, if Steve goes into the "poo tank" which is extremely dangerous, can his judgement be trusted? Maybe a more competent guy should e called in for a second opinion. Could save some $$ if old Steve is full of you know what.

Oh my gosh! This is the funniest thing I have read all day! Thanks! I would think the guy must have a screw loose to begin with.
