Tuesday night – not the same old s…-

Greetings from Somers NY> I’m staying at my good friends’ Ruchir and Rashi’s. I’m down here for a set of meeting over the next day and a half. It’s always wonderful to see them.  I got hear abotu 10:30 after a full days work at home.. I had to work at home today because today was the day we began work on our new spectic system. Nothing beats putting a large amount of money into a hole in the ground 🙁 ..
Honestly .. getting this fixed will be a huge relief to us. Diane’s been having to take our clothes to the laundremat for many months.. It will be nice to wash, shower or flush whenever we feel like it now.

I have to admit it’s exciting to watch the new system go in. The system was designed by our freind Justin.. and our buddy Bill A. is doing the excavation work…   Bill is a true artist with this big machine.. I keep thinkign what a cool robot we coul dmake out of that excavator.

First thing we had to do was to number the fieldstones from the part of the walkway that had to be removed.. we nede ot get these stones back in their original  places.

Here’s comes Bill with the shovel full of work

Here he is lifting the sidewalk stones. He is so delicate with that machine that OI think he could scratch his back with it.

He also had to remove the back step.. I gotta do soemthing about that sill rotting..

Here’s the hole for both tanks of the new system

And the dirt that came out of it….

Here’s the new gravel in the bottom

These guys are perfectionists.

Here come the tanks…

While the guys were placeing the tanks, woody was wirign the septic pup and Bruce and I worked on getting the air vent routed to the roof.. easier than it sounds. We ended up having to put the pipe up through one of the interior rooms.. and then up into the attic. Not easy at all.. The hardest part was cleanign a path through the mess in the attic to reach the place the pipe will come through..

OK.. I need to sleep now. We’ll have soem more piuctures from the spetic system over the next couple of days.. I gotta admit, it’s all pretty exciting .. isn’t it Sam ?

Folks,
     Friends of Sam are a group of Sam’s friends who raise money to help kids around the world. The FoS  are going holding their next fund raiser this Saturday in support of the “Krang Baing Village Project”

The “Krang Baing Village Project” is a non-profit organization to help the impoverished village of Krang Baing, Cambodia. Khem Suong was separated from her

village as a young child, escaped to Thailand looking for refuge, and

there her name was selected in a lottery to come to Vermont. Khem, in

her adult life, has since been reunited with her family in Cambodia.

After visiting them and seeing the poverty in which they live in she

has taken on the mission to help her birth village of Krang Baing. Khem

has been on an amazing journey and you can read more details in the Williston Observer. 

Friends of Sam and Talent Skatepark have joined together again for a

“Jam for Sam” event to raise funds for digging wells in Kraing Baing.

Come on by to skate, eat, and listen to music at Talent. Thank you for whatever support you can give. 

I’d liek to add our thanks to Sam T,  Freinds of Sam, Jen K, and the wonderful folks at talent for makign this fundraiser happen . Sam… you have wonderful freinds !
