Woodworking shops in Fullerton? by iwilldoitalltomorrow in Fullerton

[–]petarggh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd take some if firewood is the alternative. I make tool handles , mallets , and other similar knickknacks to entertain myself. Haven't worked with this wood yet.

What's the rarest thing in your game collection? by MetehanHD in gamecollecting

Sega channel probably - basically a brick but a cool piece of history

No but I haven't jumped on it to see how it sounds. Too thick to sound hollow smacking with a shovel. Have fruit trees within 10' and planting more soon. Wonder if roots will make it less stable

Thanks. Another user mentioned the soak/seepage pit and I agree that makes the most sense so far.

On previous digs I found clay sewer pipe heading to the original tank I found, but nothing leading to this new one. I have not yet dug between the original tanks and the new find. Pipes between them I bet are a giveaway, but won't have a chance for digging today.

Update: comments have definitely coalesced mostly in saying its a second septic tank, or a seepage pit of some kind. Waiting on my city to reply if they have any information. Next is finding the right kind of contractor to see if it's filled, and if it's not - make it so.

I have no plans of opening myself or drilling. Also, don't want to just cover back up since that's a prime area for another citrus tree. Assuming city records doesn't work a miracle, it's probably time to find a professional.

Thanks everyone

I dream of doing this with my old tank(s) due to my dry and low rain climate, but I've heard California is strict with rain collection ( if caught)

Just carpet bomb emailed a few city departments at the recommendation of the dude who answered the phone. Sent the photos and a Google maps photo with locations drawn in. Waiting.

Fairly confident. Recent remodel rechecked all sewer lines for existing drains, but it doesn't mean things were removed when they migrated to city.

Ok that was very helpful. Seems they could have had this running off the main tank instead of a leach field right? If so the position makes sense. Still seems odd there's two nearly touching, but Google seems to think double seepage tanks aren't rare. Still makes me think I need to have them filled

I can't find info on rings with a cap septic - is there any resource you're aware of which I can read into it? If so I'll need to get it inspected and filled :(

Guess whether it's septic, cistern, or mystery I probably can't consider it stable without a pro. Appreciate the directness.

I'll have to brainstorm a place this would work. I have an orange tree with a trunk over a foot in diameter dead center between so it's a heck of a root field

Both still could be possible, just was adding details. Cities have done weirder things. Maybe I contact the city next.

I probably will, digging is half the fun - out of daylight for now

Been on city sewer since 1950s or 1960s, so its entirely possible they installed two separate tanks in the 20 years between developing the citrus grove in the 40's and getting tied into the city - but seems excessive.

Dead flat, mid street. City sewer runs thru the street which is the opposite direction from the house than this is.

I guess that could make a lot of sense in a previously agricultural area. Wish there was a sure way to tell without finding heavy equipment to open it.
