Grace: Life lessons in septic systems, Part 3

In the midst of our doubts, we continued to look and learn. 

We visited this far-flung, wooded property in Franconia, skipped under the sugar maples, and fell in love.  We paid for five different inspectors to come- permaculture farming, dome doctor, plumbing, housing, and of course, well/septic.  Like new parents, we were delighted to find out that despite the frozen pipes, the place had good bones, a healthy well, a large modern septic system, and beautiful dirt.  

Giddy, we offered.  Shelley and Larry accepted, the banks signed off, and our dream began.

The wonderful attention to detail Larry and Shelley lavished on this place, which has a blog all its own, blessed us again.  Without having even enough foresight to know to ask, we learned at closing that they sold us a house with a fabulous, state-of-the-art, Eco-Smart Water Purification System which purifies the water for the whole house without using salt or any nasty chemicals.  Water is still minerally but tastes great.  

It is exactly what I would have chosen for myself if I had known then what I know now.  

Isn't that sheer grace?
