plumbing or buried treasure?

so my very old house has been having some serious plumbing problems and as a result I have been working on digging a six foot deep hole with about a 4 foot diameter. lets just say that i'm sore. but what is even worse is that i was supposed to find these two pipes that were meant to be connected, but that had collapsed. instead you can see what i found. it is not one but two gigantic solid cement slabs that are about a foot thick. and it looks like since my house was built in 1928 and the sewer system on our street didn't come till 1948 that I am now the proud owner of a crazy old speptic tank that is literally full of CRAP! am i the only one who seems to find that all the house projects that seem to be quick fixes tend to be HUGE! so all that to say pray that all of the stuff that needs to happen for our plumbing to get fixed would happen quick and in a not to expensive manner! yeah right!

enjoy the pictures of my archeological find below!
