Our own RV dump station





We now have our own personal motor home dump station. Finished all the plumbing today and all that's left is to fill in the giant hole. We had to dig 6 feet to find the sewer pipe. We were about ready to call the plumber when when we got to 5 1/2 feet with no results. There wasn't much room in the hole to maneuver around so Cindy got in and dug around with a little hand shovel for a short while and hollered "I found it!" It was a little farther to the right than we thought it would be.

Front yard progress





The next step of our curb appeal project is to install a dump drain to dump our motorhome holding tanks. We thought we would do it while we have the front yard dug up. It's a good convenience. Today we started digging and got to 5 feet. After running into a big rock (boulder) we dug about a foot away from it; so far no sewer pipe to connect to. We learned from the plumber who will probably install it that each house has letter "p" stamped on the curb which indicates the location of the sewer pipe. We will continue tomorrow. Are we having fun yet?

Latest Project

Our latest project is to redo our front yard and give it some curb appeal. Our plan is to put a path down the middle of the yard with concrete pavers and landscape with palm trees and assorted plants.
