Septic Tank pump replacment fun

Saturday morning was a messy, kinda stinky, hard working time at the church. The Septic tank pump had to be replaced.. you know, ,, that noisy thing you hear doing service on sunday. The old one had bearing problems.. although I dont know why.. it was only in there for 38 years !!! So.. John, Arlyn, Mel, and me. (thats why no picture of the actual replacement.. it took 4 of us to get the old puppy out of the hole !)






Here is the device that Arland put together (with an electric hoist) to get that heavy old one out.


Ever see a septic tank pump ??? take a look at these next two pics.



Here is the new one... working ... with very little noise.
should be here for 30 to 40 years !!
