We just got back from California again, this time for a four-day trip to take in a church event in Modesto and to spend a little time with my Grandparents who live there. Once again, we bring a story back from there.

Five Siblings Each Celebrate 50+ Years of Marriage!

Recently, my (Mary’s) parents celebrated fifty years of marriage which was awesome but when all five of my mom’s siblings celebrated fifty years, I just had to share. Two of these families, Roger & Norma Wolf and Butch & Susan Young, live here in the Basin and are readers of our newsletter. I’d like to say “avid” readers, but I think my parents slack sometimes.

Can I get a ball park quote on a septic and drain field?

Sure! We will need to know how many bedrooms your house will be, the area it is in and what type of system will be required for the lot (ie gravity, pressure distribution, engineered or mound). With that information, we can give you a ball park quote. Just remember that ball parks are big so it won’t be 100% accurate!
