discombobulated

That's a word my brother taught me. That's how I feel today with less than 11 days to go.
The septic people came out to mark where the septic tanks are going. He says talk to your drainlayer about connecting it to the tanks. We don't have one! We just have a really good digger guy. But he wouldn't go into details with me of what was required because I was a lady and 'no offence' but he's happy to talk to the subbies (sub contractors in kiwi) but it will just get confused if it goes through me - well that's more or less what he said - in the nicest possible way.

So the power to the septic needs to be laid in the same trench, unless the power man doesn't want them in the same trench he says. Your drain layer will have a better idea. HULLO!

So the plumber has to come and install the toilets and shower right - and the waste goes to the septic tank right, but what comes first the chicken or the egg - the drain or the pipes? How do I know what size drain to tell Clifton to dig on Saturday.

George help....!!

how insulting! typical workman, in my opinion, talking down to a woman. all he had to do was explain it simply and you could have written the basics down so you'd know. gah! chauvinist! hey ho. i hope you get it sorted soon.
