The Cabin
Cathy, our friend Yvette, and I drove up to Pennsylvania today. We visited the land (commonly called “the farm” by our family, but not really a farm in any meaningful sense). We built the cabin in the mid 1970s and it’s been without any utilities until recently. The plumbing went in and there is now a septic system. Putting in everything related to that required a fair amount of digging so the ground was pretty chewed up. Dorothy and Jeff have spread straw on the bare dirt (a.k.a. mud) so it’s not as bad as it could be. Dorothy also has a few large bags of grass seed that will go down shortly. In this photo you can see the three concrete caps for the septic tank and associated parts. We’ll plant a garden around them and put large planters on top of them so they won’t be quite so obvious, eventually.
