Thanks! To be honest, pictures don't do it justice. When we bought this place in 2008, it was the view not the house. We look to the west and north over the Hood Canal at the Olympic Mountains. Share 150ft of saltwater oyster filled beach and dock with a couple neighbors. Yet we are only an hour from Seattle.
I hear you. I would do the same if it wasn't in a view spot. I am pretty happy with these clean outs after living in two homes over the last 33 years both with septic tanks that I had to dig and find the plugs for a pump out about every 5 years. Always seemed I was a little off in digging so the hole and mess was bigger than it should have been. I am finding that I dislike shovels more and more as I get older and grumpier.
Excellent question and the answer is,not that often but in OP's case running water sound was also emitting from the hydrant next to sewer line. You've heard how sounds travel's to other faucets any time one is turned on? Collectivly,between water running through sewer line and noise from hydrant when anything from shower to icemaker was on the root had plenty guidance. Once root reached that area it turned all it's attention to the drain line when it smelled it as someone mentioned earlier.
Stupid tree roots that chase dogs cause their tree to die from lack of moisture. Besides,rover generally deliver's his moisture contribution right to the base of tree.
The first job assignment coming out of college and working at Boeing, I was a stress engineer. I got sent to England to work with a Lavatory Supplier to Boeing. When I came back my boss told me that I was now a head stress engineer. After a second or two of thinking about it, I realized I didn't get a promotion. :laughing:Yahoos ! You were referring to us as Head Engineers back when all this first started. Maybe you should buy some beer and invite us to come help next time.
