Thanks for the explanation. When my home was on the city sewer system, the only vent was the line that the toilet was on, and it extended through the roof. The mainline went out the basement wall and connected to the city sewer line in the street. I have never seen anything like you do in New England. Must be a regional thing.Here's a shot of a trap before it was installed. Again, this was for a line connected to central sewer system.

Sometimes the house trap is located in the basement or under the floor with a fresh air inlet above it. If you look at my second pic posted earlier today, you'll see a round "vent" in the siding just above the hole I dug. That's the old fresh air vent to their system. Most standard septic systems wont have a trap outside.



What ever happened to lumberjack? I'm still using that.They are never called fallers here. They are called fellers.
I really don't know. . . My main use is as shown above. Between what I planted in 2 days it paid for itself based on what the nursery wanted to do the actual planting.Would that stump bucket be able to dig out silver maple stumps? I have a few of those where instead of one trunk there are a dozen, I also have a few pine stumps to remove. Looks a lot easier to use than a backhoe.
That is a very sweet looking little redwood greenhouse.We finished the winter/rainy day cigar lounge today hardware/shelves/auto vent mechanism)…still in a bit of a stand off that is not a greenhouse.
Here, loggers are called loggers. Arborists (the ones with degrees and certifications) are called arborists. People who cut trees in tree service type situations are called tree service guys/ladies or tree trimmers, albeit with the understanding often only a stump is left after "trimming". Lumberjack would work, just don't hear it often. I've read that people fell trees but don't believe I've ever heard someone actually verbalize, "I felled a tree this weekend". I've heard many people say, "I/we dropped a tree yesterday". Perhaps more accurately, "We'un's drop tree yestiddy." (That must be said quickly for proper effect.) That's probably totally incorrect from a proper use of English perspective, which is in keeping with much of the vernacular here.What ever happened to lumberjack? I'm still using that.
Thank you. You are making me blush. I am sorry to say I am happily married. But I understand, I can’t just turn this off. Awesome doesn’t have a kill switch.That is a very sweet looking little redwood greenhouse.
The occuping "tenant" looks even more sweet and cute!
I got the idea from a YT video by a Chinese guy in Central Alberta Canada, who built a commercial scale Chinese design solar heated greenhouse out on the bitter cold snowy prairie.@nbryan Darn my curiosity -- is that a reciprocating saw with a pipe taped onto the end in the right side of your pic?
Why/what for?

From here on out, they will be known as droppers.Here, loggers are called loggers. Arborists (the ones with degrees and certifications) are called arborists.

Calling a person who cuts trees a feller or faller, in this area (and this area only), makes it sound like you luncheon with Grey Poupon and kippers washed down with a wine cooler, which is fine if you're into that. Or maybe I just hang out with the wrong people (very likely).
