The Sewer Man Cometh!

Tomorrow the sewer man comes!!!! We've been waiting 3 weeks but tomorrow is the day! Why am I so excited about this? Fair question really. We are having our envirocycle hoses and sprays moved and put underground. At the present time the treated water is pumped through hoses that run across the property but laws have changed and the pipes need to be underground so we can, within reason, choose where we want it to go. That makes it so much easier to plan where our little orchard will go as well as the vege gardens. We've had to wait until he came before we could go ahead and plant. Obviously I don't want the sprays anywhere near my fruit and veges but I'm thrilled at how it greens up other areas. The sewer man tells me the treated water is perfectly safe and you could drink it in a pinch. Oh for sure; like that's going to happen!
Its interesting  - not so long ago I couldn't see myself getting excited about a visit from a gentleman with sewerage experience. 

There are so many things to do but it has to be done in a considered sequence. (my husbands words) He has a point though. (dammit) When the sewer man is done (You know I think I feel just a little bit country if I keep saying "the sewer man" lol) we'll begin to put in our fruit trees and build our raised beds. Now the weather is turning and we're actually getting some nice sunny days we'll be able to get our dirt delivered without the truck sinking up to the axles. I really miss my vege garden from my previous house, especially the herbs. Oh well Rome wasn't built in a day (that is just the most stupid saying really).

Tomorrow we also get two more chickens. We bought 2, sight unseen, delivered in a box yesterday; trusting souls that we are. Both had malformed beaks, making it extremely difficult for them to eat and forage for bugs etc. Back they went this afternoon. Not happy. Poor little blighters. We thought perhaps we should keep them; we didn't think one end would necessarily hinder the other end if you get my drift; but after much consultation with Mark and Google I decided to return them. We were assured it was a dreadful mistake and the new ones will be O.K.

So all in all tomorrow will be a big day. Between chickens and V.I.S.D. (very important sewerage decisions) I think an early night is in order. :)
