[QUOTE="Rafter S, post: 1787922, member: 21194"] That reminds me of a friend of mine, who moved to my area close to 40 years ago. I drove up to his place one day when he was getting ready to move a house onto it. When I drove up he was out there with a shovel digging a hole in the ground. Me being the nosy person I am asked him what he was doing. (His place is on a blackland hill, and this was in winter, and the ground was pretty well saturated. This will become important later.) "I'm doing a percolation test." (He owns a plumbing company, by the way.) "What's that?" "You dig a hole in the ground, 12" square, fill it up with water, and see how long it takes for it all to drain out. That lets me know what kind of field lines I need for my septic system." "Do you plan on staying out here watching it all night?" Of course if he'd done it in the summer, when it was dry, he never would have got the hole full because the water would run out through the cracks as fast as he could pour it in. [/QUOTE]
