The GOOD, the BAD, and the COVID 19
I have tried to refrain from COVID-19 talk, but I have had people ask questions, so I am caving and addressing it. There are many points of view on this, but no matter who you are, right now in the US, everyone is being affected by it in some way. I’m actually surprised […]

PROBLEMS REMEMBERING? We can help with that…

MOTHER NATURE — how DO you effect my septic system!
Nebraska is one of those fortunate states that gets to experience all four seasons every year. Our springs are typically cool and wet, summers hot and dry, falls are crisp, and cold, snowy winters. During any one of these seasons, we can experience extreme weather. For instance, the fall of 2018 was extremely rainy and led into a […]
