Well, it's been a long time since my last post. I've been very busy, that's for sure.

I may have mentioned before that we kept having septic problems, I don't remember now. Anyhow, the main kitchen has a septic storage tank in the cafeteria under the floor. There is a pump that lifts black water from the tank and pushes it into the main septic tank in the courtyart. The problem is, they are both so full of liquid that if you run the kitchen pump for too long, black water starts to oose out the cracks in the cement in the courtyard. That is bad.

From the title, I'm sure you can guess what this blog is about. I had a very interesting weekend. We had a small crowd of volunteers this weekend to help fix some things up. On Sunday, we had some sewer problems in the chapel. This usually comes from a holding tank in the cafeteria being full. That's where the chapel bathroom drains to. We usually pump it out into the main holding tanks buried in the courtyard. Nothing unusual so far, but then we started to have some overflow out of a crack in the cement. This flooded a hallway with raw sewage.

News Flash - I'm in Mexico!

You're not going to believe this. I think I've heard of something like this happening, but I've never experienced it, until now. I woke up this morning and took a shower about a quarter 'til 7. I noticed the water wasn't very hot, and it seemed to run out kinda fast. Usually, I'm the only one using water at this time and I can take a long HOT shower without problem. Didn't think much of it. I figured maybe somebody beat me to it and used up a lot of hot water.

I've been very busy around here and just now thought about blogging all of my progress. Here's what I've done so far.
