[TheForge] so much for this father's day

[terry l. ridder]

hello;

i am foolish to think that there is such a thing as a simple project.
putting up a chain link fence should not be that complicated. today, my
middle daughter and my son decided to help goode olde dad out by digging
some post holes with the 3-pt hitch post hole digger. my son thought it
really funny when he hit the first septic field tile, and my middle
daughter thought it just 'dumb luck' that they hit a 2nd septic field
tile 32 ft from the first one. so suddenly the fence building project
became an access the damage to the septic field tiles and call a septic
field service emergency telephone number. this little bit of help will
cost somewhere between $3,000.00 and $4,000.00 usd in septic field
repairs. then everyone wondered why i was upset. so the chain link fence
project is scrapped and calling in the septic field repair company is
now on. i need to figure out how to return 100 x 60 lbs bags of cement
mix back to menards and all the chain link fence materials back to farm
and fleet. i am tired of nearly every project suddenly becomes a near
disaster and my family's extreme cavalier attitude that dad can just
throw dollars at the problem to fix it.

i really need to get away from the family for a couple months..
